Fiscal Advantages

Leasing presents a clear financial and tax interest for companies and the liberal professions, since leasing is subject to the common law regime of expenses deductible from the net result (art. 39-1 of the CGI), which reduces your IS or IRPP.

SPREADING OF YOUR RENTAL COSTS

Leasing allows the cost of the acquisition of an art piece to be spread out over several years (from 13 to 60 months) and thus preserves the precious cash-flow of the company, which the immediate or staggered purchase, not depreciable, does not allow.

Leasing is by nature a rental charge. As a result, it does not affect the borrowing capacity of your company and considerably lightens the top of your balance sheet

The expert's advice

Art leasing is an attractive method of financing an art piece without the need for either a down payment or a bank loan. This contract allows a company to rent a art piece with the option of purchasing the property at a price determined in advance. This financing method will allow the company to reduce its taxes, spread the costs and acquire the art piece at a lower cost.

...

The monthly payments are fully deductible from the taxable results of the tenant business. This further reduces the company's tax result. Whatever the activity of the company, the deduction of the rents concerns the companies subjected, of right or option, to the corporate tax and the individual companies subjected to the income tax in the category of BIC. The pre-financing of VAT is provided by the lessor credit.

The rights attached to a leasing contract are assimilated to intangible assets and, in the event of the assignment of the contract, fall under the capital gains regime on the disposal of assets.

The rental of the art piece during the contract is an off-balance sheet commitment for the lessee, which does not affect the solvency of his business, thereby preserving his borrowing capacity. When the company has held the leasing contract since its origin, the works acquired at the end are entered in the balance sheet assets for the price agreed upon the exercise of the purchase option.
