2. Lease Defined
Lease is a contract under which a lessor, the
owner of the assets, gives right to use the asset
to a lessee, the user of the assets, for an agreed
period of time for a consideration called the
lease rentals.
In up-fronted leases, more rentals are charged
in the initial years and less in the later years of
the contract. The opposite happens in back
ended leases.
Primary lease provides for the recovery of the
cost of the assets and profit through lease
rentals during a period of about 4 or 5 years. It
may be followed by a perpetual, secondary
lease on nominal lease rentals.PONMUTHU S2

6. Sale and Lease Back
Sometimes, a user may sell an (existing) asset
owned by him to the lessor (leasing company)
and lease it back from him. Such sale and lease
back arrangements may provide substantial tax
benefits.

12. Lease Benefits to Lessor and Lessee
A lease can benefit both when their tax rate
differs.
In fact in a lease, the lessee sells his
depreciation tax shield to the lessor.
In the absence of taxes it is hard to believe that
leasing would be advantageous if the capital
markets are reasonably well functioning.
Gain of both is loss to the government in form of
taxes.
PONMUTHU S12
13. Leasing Benefits Come from…
Both, lessor and lessee, gain at government’s
expense because of the difference in their tax
rates.
The government gains from the tax on lease
rentals while it loses on depreciation and interest
tax shields.
The implicit principal payments in a lease rental
are shielded by depreciation, while interest
deductions provide for implicit return on the
lessee’s capital.

14. Hire Purchase–Conditions
The owner of the asset (the Hirer or the
manufacturer) gives the possession of the asset
to the Hirer with an understanding that the Hirer
will pay agreed installments over a specified
period of time.
The ownership of the asset will transfer to the
hirer on the payment of all installments.
The Hirer will have the option of terminating the
agreement any time before the transfer of
ownership of assets. ( Cancellable Lease)

nature.

requires the hirer to pay equal installments at
each period.
