equismart is a simple, cost effective finance programme that offers employees access to the latest in portable personal computer technology via specialist salary

Benefits of equismart to employees
- equismart operates via a pay as you go system that makes the latest computer equipment available without the need to outlay large amounts of money up front.
- By leveraging the employer’s buying power and cost of funds, the purchase price is lower and lease payments are significantly lower than those payable under a bank loan or credit card.
- Employees can choose a lease that suits their needs with terms of 12 or 24 months of known and fixed salary sacrifice payments.*
- Employees gain tax benefits as lease costs are deducted from their gross salary before income tax is applied, lease payments are GST-free and notebooks are exempt from FBT.
- At the end of the agreement, the equipment is returned to the employer leaving the employee free to refresh their equipment and access the very latest technology.
How does it work?
- A master lease facility is established between the employer and equigroup.
- The employer provides employees with access to notebooks via an equipment hire arrangement.
- The employee pays for the usage of the equipment through salary sacrifice organised with their employer.
- equigroup can also arrange finance assurance to ensure payments continue to be met in the event that the employee loses their earning capacity.
