Vehicle & Equipment Finance

There are a number of different ways to finance the purchase of vehicles and equipment for your business or farm including:

• Acquire an asset through a secured loan agreement (also known as a chattel mortgage)

• Lease an asset through a rental agreement (also known as an operating lease)

Both of these options have different tax, accounting, GST and FBT implications.

There are also special tax concessions in place for asset acquisitions, with immediate depreciation on assets up to the price of $20,000 still available until June 30, 2018. On top of that, the criteria for a small business to participate in these concessions has been expanded from $2 million in annual turnover to $10 million from 1^st July, 2016.
