WHICH FACILITY IS RIGHT FOR ME?
A great question. And it's one that we strongly recommend discussing with your accountant or professional advisor.
Each facility is different and does have different implications for your business. It's important to establish the right facility from the beginning. This is why we recommend discussing your own requirements with your professional team.
TAX-EFFECTIVE LEASING
ENJOY THE ADVANTAGES OF FREEING UP CASH FLOW.
When cash flow is critical, it is not a smart business decision to have large sums of cash tied up in depreciating assets. Talk to our leasing specialists to determine if tax-effective leasing is the right solution for you.
The benefits of leasing include:
PRE-PAYMENT
When it comes to a Lease, there are certain circumstances that a prepayment can be claimed as a deduction. Generally if you are on a cash accounting system (under $2m annual turnover), you are still potentially able to claim up to 12 months or prepayments. This will not actually save you money on the Lease contract as it is a fixed payment/fixed term contract, but you will gain the benefit of a higher tax deduction and this is sometimes a very effective use of excess cash at the end of the tax year.
