Leasing
Have you ever thought of leasing your equipment and spreading the payment costs?
Leasing your equipment has a number of significant benefits.
- Affordable Monthly Repayments - allowing you to plan your budgets
- Quality Assets - While leasing an asset, the ownership of the asset still lies with the lessor whereas the lessee just pays the monthly expense. Given this agreement, it becomes plausible for a business to invest in good quality assets which might look unaffordable or expensive otherwise.
- VAT is paid on each monthly payment, saving a large upfront VAT payment.
- Tax Benefits - Lease payments are considered as operating expenses, and hence, of interest, are 100% tax deducible - See example below
