FAQs on Equipment Leasing & Financing Services
What are the Tax Benefits of Equipment Leasing?
EQUIPMENT LEASING PROVIDES TAX BENEFITS AND TAX ADVANTAGES
The tax benefits can be extremely important to a
business's cash flow. By carefully structuring your
lease purchase with your accountant, certain types of lease buyouts may create tax advantages for your company if they qualify as true operating
leases. In addition to conserving valuable company
working capital and preserving existing bank credit lines,
leasing business equipment rather than paying cash may offer tax benefits and savings if structured correctly. Operating or "true" lease payments may be fully expensed and accelerate tax deductions when compared to lengthy depreciation schedules.
Conventional bank and other
financing often have term restrictions and relatively higher down payment requirements than
leasing. Furthermore, virtually all bank loans must be capitalized and cannot be depreciated. It is important to check with your accountant or CPA about any potential tax benefits or tax advantages for proper advice. Syndicated
Leasing does not offer tax advice to any of our clients.
