Finance Lease:
- Customers pay an initial payment or advance rental(s), followed by periodic rentals over the remaining term – commonly 1 to 5 years.
- VAT is paid – and reclaimed - on each rental rather than on the full cost of the goods.
- Rentals can be monthly, quarterly, annual or seasonal.
- The Lessor retains title to the asset, but the customer is entitled to sell the goods on the Lessor’s behalf and retain up to 99% of the sale proceeds.
- The asset is included in the customer’s balance sheet, and rentals can be tax deductible.
