Explode the Myths
VAT & Van Hire Purchase
Lets explode a few myths here as things have changed a lot in recent years. Traditionally VAT is placed upfront but in recent years this has relaxed and there are a few funders out there that will defer VAT for up to three months. In fact there are even a few funders now that will finance the VAT
Balloons
A ballon is a slang but widely accepted term for a large final payment.
Some finance companies allow percentage of the purchase price while others use quite complicated equations and auction feeds.
Typically a balloon is worked out to about 85% of its auction value excluding any extras adjusted for mileage. Thus a driver who does 100,000 miles a year will have higher payments and a lower balloon that a 10,000 mile per annum driver
Tax
HP and Lease Purchase get a 100% tax write down all in the same year.
So it suits companies that want to shed as much as possible that financial year. Thus is you are a new start company or your profits are low finance lease is often a better method as it transfers some tax savings into later years.
