Hire purchase is commonly used for equipment where the hirer wants to claim depreciation and interest deductions but prefers the hiring structure for business or accounting reasons. It is available for all types of business equipment and vehicles.
A hire purchase (also called commercial hire purchase or CHP) is an arrangement where you hire equipment from a finance company and make regular payments over a fixed term. At the end of the term, you pay a nominal amount (often $1) to take full ownership. It is functionally very similar to a chattel mortgage but structured as a hiring agreement.
Hire purchase combines the simplicity of fixed payments with the certainty of ownership at the end. You know exactly what each payment is, how many you will make, and that the equipment is yours when the last one is paid.
Hire purchase offers a straightforward path to equipment ownership with clear tax benefits along the way.
Your hire purchase repayments are fixed for the entire term. No surprises, no rate changes, no variable payments. Budget with certainty.
The interest component of your payments is deductible, and you can claim depreciation on the equipment. Combined, these deductions can significantly reduce the effective cost of the hire purchase.
Unlike a finance lease where return is an option, hire purchase is designed to end in ownership. The final payment (typically a nominal amount) transfers full ownership to you.
A balloon (residual) payment can be included to reduce your regular payments during the term. You pay the balloon at the end to take ownership, or refinance or trade in at that point.
All types of business equipment and vehicles can be structured as a hire purchase.
