Commercial Hire Purchase (CHP)
This is a fixed rate business loan for the acquisition of motor vehicles and equipment.
The security for the loan is the asset financed.
The borrower can claim interest and depreciation.*
You have the flexibility of choosing a CHP contract with a Balloon payment at the end or a fully amortised contract (i.e. a Nil Balloon at the end).
Borrowers that report GST on a cash basis, cannot claim the GST in a lump sum, but over the term of the finance contract.
Alternatively, borrowers that report GST on an accrual basis, can claim the entire GST amount in the next BAS return.
