What is Van Finance Lease?

You can lease a van with a finance lease contract, which is an agreement between you and a finance company; this agreement allows you to use the vehicle but does not grant ownership of it. You would pay a fixed price each month for an agreed period – at the end of the contract you have a number of options; sell the vehicle and pay off any outstanding payments, keeping whatever profit you make, enter in to a secondary period and make payments for that period or finally, re-finance the terminal/final/balloon payment. This is a flexible way of financing your vehicle.

 

Payment

You will pay an initial rental or deposit at the start of a lease, which could be the equivalent of 1 – 12 months rental in advance, plus the VAT. The lease repayment period is usually between periods of 24 to 60 months. The VAT is paid monthly, then claimed back quarterly (if VAT registered).

 

Things to know

This type of lease is best for non-VAT registered business users looking for a low initial deposit and maximum flexibility. No mileage or damage charges are incurred at end of the contract. You can opt for a ‘balloon payment’, which means a lower monthly rental fee, but a large payment at the end of the contract. Rentals are 100% allowable against taxable profits with no private use. Vehicle sold or part-exchanged at end of the contract with the hirer keeping between 95-100% of the sale proceeds (ex. VAT) depending on finance company.
