Under a Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP) or Asset Purchase, AFS agrees to purchase a car or commercial vehicle on behalf of your business which contracts to pay hire charges for a fixed period, at the end of which, the legal title to the vehicle passes to your business. Until all the hire charges have been paid, legal title remains with the owner, AFS.
The payments of a Hire Purchase can be structured by varying the level of deposit and/or making balloon payments either during or at the end of the Agreement. A Hire Purchase also provides a business with the ability to purchase the equipment at any time during the term of the agreement.
Unlike a Finance Lease, where the full amount of the lease rental is tax deductible, only the interest component of the payments and the depreciation on the goods are tax deductible.
An Asset Purchase is suitable for companies, partnerships and sole traders who account for GST on an Accruals basis, and individuals using the vehicle for business purposes.
If your business is registered for GST, you can apply Input Tax Credits to claim some or all of the GST contained in the purchase price of the vehicle. Businesses using Accrual accounting can claim the GST as a lump sum on their next Business Activity Statement (BAS), whereas those using Cash accounting can claim the GST by instalments over the term of the contract. GST is not charged on the monthly repayment or on the balloon (final instalment) amount. Where the vehicle is used for business purposes, the business can claim depreciation up to the depreciation limit and interest charges on the contract as a tax deduction.
