Finance Lease

The lender purchases the equipment for you and, in return, you pay us a series of rental payments, which are fully tax deductible (if the equipment is used solely for earning assessable income).

An advantage of a finance lease is that you get to use it for the finance lease period. The lender has the right to sell the equipment if they wish but usually you can purchase the equipment for the agreed value, this known as the residual value. The residual value is stipulated in the finance lease agreement.
