Tax Lease/True Lease Benefits

Tax Lease/True Lease is another way for your business to prosper with a new or used piece of equipment.  It basically works like this: The lessor holds possession of the asset's ownership. The lessee (the business owner) may be allowed to claim the entire amount of the monthly investment as a tax deduction. Many rental contracts qualify as a True Lease including a 10% Option and a Fair Market Value Lease.

Example of True Lease: Assume that you have a Tax/True Lease with a $1,000 monthly payment, the below tax savings that may be available:

Monthly Investment

$1,000

Finance Term

36 months

Tax Bracket

35%

Monthly Tax Savings

$1,000 x .35 = $350

Total Tax Savings Over Contract Term

$12,600

To make sure that your asset qualifies, refer to the IRS's Publication 946. If you need advice on leases, such as a Tax Lease of a True Lease, feel free to contact us at 800-604-4817.

Act Now!

To take advantage of the incentives and the substantial tax savings, your business equipment must be put in use by year-end. Please contact your tax advisor to learn about the specific impact to your business.
