What is a Lease?

A Lease is an agreement between you (the lessee) and Lombard (the lessor), where you can obtain the right to use of an asset in exchange for pre-agreed regular payments. 

When most of the risk and rewards are transferred to the lessee this is classified as a Lease. Although the legal title remains with Lombard we are in effect financing the lessee’s purchase of the leased asset.

Do any tax treatments apply?

If a qualifying vehicle is used for business purposes and you are VAT registered (special rules apply) you may be able to recover some of the VAT applied to the lease rentals. In specific businesses the lease rental VAT may be 100% recoverable.

Tax reliefs referred to are those applying under current legislation which may change. The availability and value of any tax reliefs will depend on your individual circumstances. We can not say for definite whether a particular tax treatment will apply, we recommend you take advice from your accountants.

Customers need to insure and maintain the asset. Contact us or see your contract terms for more details.
