Leasing
Leasing is an accepted and well-established form of equipment financing enabling many businesses to access equipment and technology which may not have been available through more traditional forms of finance.
Features and benefits
- finance is generally for the full price of the asset
- allows the lessee to budget exactly for the fixed rental payments and may provide a hedge against inflation and rising interest rates
- rental payments over the term of the agreement can be tailored to fit particular income streams, an advantage to businesses with a high level of seasonal income
- provided the asset is used fully to generate assessable income, rental payments may be deductible from pre-tax earnings, however, independent taxation advice should be sought on this and all taxation matters
Considerations
There may be more advantage to the lessee in owning the asset and claiming depreciation where the goods attract a high depreciation rate. In such circumstances the hire purchase finance package we offer may be more appropriate. Further advice on this issue should be sought from your taxation adviser.
Fees and charges
There are associated Government charges and costs, which vary from State to State, in addition to our fees and charges.
