Asset Finance May Allow You To Pay Less Tax
Hire purchase results in guaranteed ownership of the asset, which means it often qualifies for the government’s ‘full capital expensing’ tax allowance. This allows you to deduct the asset’s value from your company profits and therefore pay less corporation tax. With lease finance , often the whole or part of your monthly payment can be deducted from your balance sheet, as the lease may be treated as an operating cost. This again results in you paying less corporation tax. We always advise checking your own tax liabilities with your accountant.
