This ‘off balance sheet’ feature makes Leasing highly attractive to many businesses that see improving the appearance of their balance sheet as a benefit. With ownership held by the lender, the borrower is not required to enter the asset into their business accounts.
It presents a situation which may provide the business with greater capacity and opportunities to take on finance for other purchases, or to achieve other objectives. All while having essential equipment and vehicles to operate in their business.
Asset Lease is compatible with the accruals accounting method, which can be a key issue when deciding which credit facility is the right choice for a particular business operation. Referring to an accountant when selecting asset lending products is recommended.
The format of Leasing includes a residual. This amount is a percentage of the amount borrowed which is due to be finalised after all monthly payments are finalised. The ATO has rulings around residual amounts.
At the end of a leasing term, borrowers have options. They can pay or refinance the residual to have ownership of the asset, finalise the residual and sell the asset, or opt not to finalise the amount and hand the asset back to the lender.
The flexible nature of Leasing can make it the preferred funding choice for operators looking to upgrade machines and vehicles on a regular basis.
The tax benefits available with lease are straightforward. The monthly payments are deemed operating expenses by the ATO and the full amount can be deducted. GST is applied to the monthly payments and claimed as appropriate.
Leasing can be used to fund a wide selection of new and second-hand assets acquired by businesses for use in the business operation. These include vehicles, trucks, marine vessels, machinery and equipment. If lease is your preferred commercial credit facility, request a quote online or by phone with one of our brokers.
