What is a commercial hire purchase?

A commercial hire purchase is a car financing option for a motor vehicle that will be used primarily for business use. It can also be known as a CHP, hire purchase, corporate hire purchase, asset purchase, offer to hire or term purchase.

How does a commercial hire purchase work?

A commercial hire purchase agreement is where the finance provider agrees to purchase the car on behalf of the customer and the customer hires the motor vehicle from the finance provider over an agreed period of time for a fixed monthly repayment.

The ownership of the motor vehicle is not transferred to the customer until the final payment/ balloon payment has been made.

Under a commercial hire purchase agreement, the customer is the registered owner of the motor vehicle and is responsible for all costs associated with maintaining, running and insurance for the motor vehicle.

Commercial hire purchase features

• Interest rate is fixed for the term
• Commercial hire purchase monthly repayments are fixed for the term

Commercial hire purchase taxation implications

A commercial hire purchase allows the hirer to claim an input tax credit for the GST component of the purchase price, provided that the customer is registered for GST. Where the customer is using the accrual accounting method, the input tax credit may be claimed on the next Business Activity Statement (BAS). If the cash method of accounting is used, the GST can be claimed as an input tax credit over the term of the contract.

The monthly repayment or balloon amount is not subject to GST.

Where the vehicle is used for business use, the hirer can claim "interest and depreciation". That is interest on the lease payments and depreciation up to the luxury car tax threshold or depreciation limit of $57,180.

Who does a commercial hire purchase suit?

A Commercial Hire Purchase suits someone who is going to use a motor vehicle predominately for business use, therefore this car financing product is used by Companies, Trusts, Sole Traders, Partnerships, ABN holders and individuals who receive a car allowance.
