Suzuki Finance Buy or lease how do you decide? Your first decision is whether you want to buy or lease. Most people wanting a car for private use choose to buy, but many businesses prefer to lease a car or fleet. Why buy? You pay the vehicle or motorcycle loan over an agreed term and at the end of the term you own it. You then have an asset you can sell, trade-in or keep. You make your own decision on servicing and maintenance. Payment terms are flexible. Why lease? No deposit is required. Monthly payments are fixed - making it easy for budgeting and administration. Capital can be used for other business expenses. Lease payments are tax-deductible for business vehicles (conditions apply). Businesses registered for GST can claim on the lease payments. Consumer Instalment Agreement (traditional loan) This is the most popular way to finance the purchase of a new Suzuki and is ideal for people who want to own their vehicle or motorcycle and are looking for affordable monthly loan repayments. With flexibility on the loan term (up to 60 months) and the deposit, repayments can be tailored to your requirements. The loan can also be structured with a balloon payment at the end of the term to provide even greater flexibility. Benefits Full ownership of the vehicle or motorcycle from the date of purchase. A flexible deposit. Your trade-in may also be used as the deposit or part of the deposit. Competitive interest rates and tailored repayments throughout the term of the loan. Simple and fast online application process with your Suzuki-Authorised Dealer. Other lines of credit are left unaffected as this is a standalone arrangement that uses the vehicle as security. Business Purchasers GST may be able to be claimed immediately from when you sign the contract for the purchase of the vehicle (subject to your GST return basis). Interest charges and depreciation may be able to be claimed as a business expense for tax purposes. * We recommend that you get advice from your accountant or tax advisor.

Lease A lease is a long-term rental of a vehicle for a set number of months (term) and is available to individuals and businesses. The lessee makes an advance rental payment, followed by regular fixed monthly payments. At the end of the lease term there is an agreed residual value which can be tailored to manage your monthly rental payments. The major advantage of a lease is that it makes budgeting easy as it can be set up with your specific cash flow requirements in mind and it may also offer some users significant tax benefits. Terms range from 12 to 45 months for cars, and 12 to 60 months for commercial vehicles like utes, work vans and other business vehicles. Benefits The advance rental payment, fixed monthly payments and residual value can all be tailored to suit your cash flow requirements. Cash flow advantages fixed and known monthly costs. Monthly payments are based on the GST exclusive cost of the vehicle. Other lines of credit are unaffected as this is a standalone arrangement. There is no initial capital outlay, freeing up capital for other business requirements. GST may be able to be claimed on the monthly rental payments as they are paid. Business Customers The term of the contract may determine the accounting and tax treatment of the lease. Lease term 45 months or less The monthly rental payments may be tax deductible as an operating expense. The vehicle is regarded as off balance sheet. Lease term 45 months or greater The vehicle is deemed an asset. Interest charges and depreciation may be able to be claimed. * We recommend that you get advice from your accountant or tax advisor.

The lease company owns the car and the lessee makes monthly rental payments for the use of that vehicle for a specified term (up to 45 months) and number of kilometres. At the end of the lease term the vehicle is returned to the lease company and the residual value is the responsibility of the lease company. There are two types of operating lease.
