What is a Finance Lease?
Finance Lease is a form of rental agreement under which you lease your vehicle for an agreed term and rental amount. A residual value is set to reflect the vehicle's value at the end of the lease.
Residual values are set according to the ATO minimum requirements. These are displayed in the table below.

The finance company retains ownership of the goods, but the lease rentals are tax deductible to you, as long as the goods are used in connection with producing assessable income.
At the end of the Lease you can make an offer to purchase the equipment from the finance company, trade it in on a replacement, return it, or extend the lease for a further term.
What type of cars can be leased?
You can lease any type of new or used passenger or light commercial motor vehicle. We source all the quotes for you on all makes and models.
How long can I take the lease out for?
We consider all the factors that will influence your decision on how long you wish to lease the vehicle. Tailored terms are anywhere between 12-60 months. Choice of vehicle and utilisation are two key factors in determining the term. The optimum can save you money and have you moving into new vehicles more frequently.
