The Leasing Centre (Aust) -
The traditional form of equipment finance, a Finance Lease is good where assets are less susceptible to rapid technological change, or have extremely long effective lives.
For those industries and types of equipment more exposed to technological change, an Operating Lease (or Rental) is usually more appropriate.
Finance Leases - Full Use, at a Known Cost
Under a Finance Lease, you have full use of the equipment during the term. You have the security of a predictable monthly payment, with a known residual at the end of the term. In addition, there is no initial outlay, so you'll have access to the equipment without the up-front cost.
End of Term Options of Finance Leases
At the end of the Lease term, you can take ownership of the equipment simply by paying the stated residual value - no mystery, no hidden fees or costs. Alternatively, you can simply hand the equipment back. It's up to you.
Tax Effective Asset Management of Finance Leases
While the equipment does appear on your Balance Sheet, the full Lease payment is tax-deductible with business use. While GST is payable on Lease payments over the full term, Clients with an ABN can claim back the GST component.
