At the car Leasing Centre we not only offer Contract Hire but Contract Purchase as well. Contract Purchase enables customers to acquire a car for a fixed period and a specified mileage, by paying fixed monthly installments, at the end of the contract you have an option to purchase the vehicle for a balloon payment
FEATURES
Contract Purchase has been developed to address the disadvantages of leasing high priced cars by mirroring many of the operational and administrative benefits of Contract Hire, but at the same time mitigating taxation in two specific areas, VAT and Corporation Tax.
The contract is written as a Conditional Sale agreement. Essentially this means that the Fleet Management Company sells the vehicle to the client company.
After a payment to finalise the agreement, the client may exercise an option for the Fleet Management Company to dispose of the vehicle on his behalf or the user can retain the vehicle or dispose of it himself.
One regular payment covers funding, road fund licence, maintenance and depreciation up to an agreed age and mileage for excess mileage if the customer opts to return the vehicle rather than purchase it for the pre-determined residual value.
