You would like to lease a security device in order to use your money better than tying it up in a security device.

Basically a good idea!

You will receive two offers in response to your request, one from Tolle-Warensicherung-GmbH and one from Eastek Systems.

Tolle Warensicherungs GmbH offers you a term of 36 months

Eastek offers you a term of 54 months.

60 months is too long, too much interest to the leasing bank and the contract goes to Tolle-Warensicherung-GmbH...Congratulations!

You now book the monthly installment as an expense and reduce the company's profits and, in parallel to the reduction in theft, you also save taxes - that's how merchandise security is fun!

After 5 years, the nice tax official comes to you for an audit and cancels your tax savings from leasing for 36 months... oh no, how could that be?

Many companies on the Internet are happy about a leasing contract because the money is paid immediately by the leasing bank, often plus commission. What happens later is initially of no interest to the seller.

We are keen to continue serving you as a satisfied customer in 10 years, which is why we expressly point out the general terms and conditions:

full amortization leasing

The leasing contract must be concluded for a specific period of time and cannot be terminated during this period if both parties have properly fulfilled the contract.
be terminated (no right of termination).

This is the so-called basic rental period.

During this basic rental period, the lessee's leasing payments must at least cover the acquisition/production costs and ancillary costs, including the lessor's financing costs.

According to these two leasing decrees, the decisive criterion for the tax allocation of the leased object is the length of the basic rental period:

If it is between 40% and 90% of the normal useful life of the leased asset, calculated according to depreciation, it is attributed to the lessor.

The lessee can then deduct the leasing installments as business expenses.

AFA for merchandise security 12 years = 144 months x 40% = 57.6 months minimum term if the tax advantage is to be used.

Short explanation in my words:

For all goods there are depreciation periods (AfA = depreciation), for the goods security system the tax office gives

a useful life of 12 years, over which period the depreciation would have to run.

When leasing, 40-90% of this time must be fulfilled:

12 years = 144 months x 40% = 57.6 months minimum term

12 years = 144 months x 90% = 129.6 months maximum term

Our advice does not replace legal or tax advice, but it still helps to ask us!
