Lease Purchase

i) The vehicle is sold in order to meet the balloon payment liability. Any profit or loss that is made on the disposal of the vehicle is yours to enjoy or suffer. Influential factors as to whether a profit or a loss occurs are down to three basic areas affecting the sale value.

•The vehicle becomes unfashionable and low in demand (potential loss) or fashionable and high in demand (potential profit).

•The nature of the vehicles condition and the state and conduct of it's service history (potential profit or loss accordingly).

NB it is worth remembering that each of these areas can counter balance one another, for example where the mileage may have gone higher than anticipated but the vehicle's condition and service history is immaculate, one compensates the other.
ii) The vehicle is refinanced for a further term and funded at an amount greater, the same as or less than the original balloon value. This option depends on the vehicles age and mileage at the time of refinancing, as well as the type of vehicle as to whether it is suitable for such treatment.
iii) The balloon amount is paid by cash and the contract is settled with full title of the vehicle being passed to you the client. In some instances this is especially appropriate if you require a flexible approach to the timing of your vehicle purchasing and replacement.
iv) The vehicle balloon amount is met through the part exchange of the vehicle against a suitable replacement. This will normally be a transaction carried out between the client and tmc vehicle solutions. But can be done so through any party the client may choose at that time.

Lease Purchase: VAT

Lease Purchase uses "hire purchase" funding and because it is a "purchase" or loan facility the monthly charges are "payments" and not "rentals" and therefore do not attract VAT. This product is therefore very well suited to clients who are not registered for VAT.

Lease Purchase: Tax Treatment

If the lease purchase agreement is taken out between ourselves and a business or corporate body, the vehicle being funded through a HP facility, will be treated as a capital asset on the company's books in accordance with accounting practices laid down by the Inland Revenue. As such it will attract Capital Allowances to offset against tax giving a Tax Written Down Value or "TWDV" each tax year that the vehicle is kept. At the same time the vehicle or asset will be depreciated in accordance with your company accounting policy (most businesses depreciate their vehicles at a rate of 25% per annum) giving a Net Book Value or "NBV". The two should not be confused with one another, the "TWDV" is used purely for tax purposes and the "NBV" is used as an asset value.
We will always be happy to provide any "whiz tax scenario" should you require a specific example as an illustration.

Lease Purchase: Why Lease Purchase?

Most people buy their car from a local supplier, put down a sizeable deposit, sometimes half the vehicle cost, and then pay the full balance over 2, 3 or 4 years through a full pay-out HP agreement. Once the full balance has been paid the vehicle is usually used to pay the next deposit through either part exchange or private sale. This method is without doubt expensive, time consuming, stressful and in most peoples view a generally unpleasant experience that they could well do without.
Our approach is completely different. We know that to operate a car of any sort represents a perpetual cost and continued expense.
Many people do not want to subject themselves to the "hard sell" and awkward and often intimidating questioning experienced in today's vehicle showrooms. Most of us do not have time to scour our locality searching for the elusive "best deal" trying to ensure that we secure value for our hard earned money.

TMC Vehicle Solutions can offer you the best solution

All you have to do is consider what your exact requirements are and what sort of levels of service and facilities you think you will need. The following steps may help you to understand what you need to know before you contact tmc vehicle solutions for a quotation.
1.   Do you want a new or quality used car?
2.    Decide what make and model of car would you like and what options and extras you might like to have fitted to the car?
3.    Decide what period of time you would like to operate the car over? If you are a low mileage user then you might consider a longer period, your annual mileage will have an effect on how much you pay per month so try and estimate what it might be before you call us.
We will ask you what level of deposit amount you would prefer; this can be any amount, the minimum being 10% of the vehicle's actual price.
