Also known as a Hire Purchase or an Offer to Hire – is a common type of fixed rate car loan for businesses. As part of a CHP, a financial lender will agree to purchase the GST-inclusive amount of a vehicle, which will then be lent back to their client over a pre-determined period of time.
Advice for business owners on how they can get a car loan that matches their business and situation.
Commercial Hire Purchases offer a range of benefits. These include flexible repayment (1–7 years) terms, as well as fixed repayment costs, so you always know how much you'll pay and when. Depending on your situation, they can also be more affordable than other commercial loans.
Vehicles obtained via Commercial Hire Purchase can be used almost identically to those purchased outright. Customers can use their vehicles as they see fit and are entitled to make necessary modifications to them – such as adding branding to the vehicle's exterior.
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is payable on the purchase price of your vehicle and on term charges and fees. You can pay these GST charges up-front or they can be factored into your regular repayments.
If your business is using the cash or accruals accounting method (and is registered for GST), then you can claim the GST paid on the purchase price when you lodge your next Business Activity Statement (BAS). The GST charged on interest (term charges) and fees can be claimed as Input Tax Credit progressively over the course of your loan. Consult a tax professional for specific advice about tax implications.
Yes - provided the vehicle's usage meets Australian Tax Office (ATO) requirements. Essentially, the vehicle must be used for business purposes for you to claim depreciation on it. Additionally, you can only claim up to the depreciation limit. See the ATO website for the current depreciation limit.
A Commercial Hire Purchase is often a good option for business owners who account for their GST on a cash or accruals basis, as the GST associated with the loan can potentially be claimed as a tax deduction.
If your business does not account for GST payments on a cash or accruals basis, then a Commercial Hire Purchase may not be the best solution for you. Other loan options you could consider include a Chattel Mortgage, Finance Lease or Novated Lease. Consult a tax professional for specific advice about tax implications.
