What is Hire Purchase or Commercial Hire Purchase?
This business loan product can lead to some confusion due to the name implying a form of rental or hiring agreement. This is incorrect. This loan type is a facility for financing assets where the business owns the goods at the conclusion of the loan when all commitments are finalised.
The technical explanation of this loan is that the lender acquires the assets and hires them to the business while the business repays the commitment in monthly loan instalments. While the lender may have ownership, the business is has full usage of the assets and must cover all outgoings in relation to the maintenance, service and running costs.
A balloon is an optional inclusion in this loan form. That is a percentage of the loan total which is payable in full after the final instalment is made. The amount of a balloon is subject to lender approval.
A unique feature of this type of credit facility is that it suits businesses that use either the accruals or the cash method of accounting. Other facilities suit one or the other accounting methods. When considering any credit product, it is advised that business owners discuss the selection with their accountant to ensure it is compatible with their accounting methods and objectives.
- CHP suits accruals and cash accounting.
- Fixed rate of interest.
- Fixed HP term – 1 year to 7 years available.
- Fixed monthly instalments.
- Balloon option.

How GST and Tax Deductions are claimed with CHP
Businesses that have registered to claim GST may claim the full amount of GST that is charged on the goods being financed – truck, car, equipment, on the ensuing BAS return. With the total amount of GST pertaining to the acquisition accounted for with the claim, GST is not applied to the monthly instalments. According to ATO guidelines, this approach to GST applies to businesses that use both cash and accruals accounting.
Tax Deductions with Hire Purchase
All business financing facilities provide tax deductible elements but the way these are realised varies with the loan type. With this facility, the monthly instalment is not deductible except for the interest component which is a deduction.
The tax deduction is received when the asset is depreciated over time in accordance with the Australian Tax Office schedule. Depreciation allows for a certain percentage of the asset value to be deducted from taxable income over a certain number of years. This is affected in the annual accounts and business tax return.

Comparing HP and Leasing Solutions
This form of financing also has differences and similarities with business Lease financing. A Lease agreement is a similar concept to the agreement with this loan and both are suitable for businesses implementing accruals accounting.
There are differences in tax deductions in that Lease payments are tax deductible and that form of financing does not allow for asset depreciation. Leasing has a residual rather than a balloon and the residual may be subject to ATO guidelines while a balloon is negotiated with the lender.
Lease rates are typically slightly higher across the market. Discuss both options with an accountant to decide which would be the most workable financing for your asset acquisitions.
