Tax treatment depends on eligibility, business structure, and current legislation. Instant asset write-off and other depreciation incentives may apply subject to ATO rules at the time of purchase. This page is general information only and is not tax advice.
Rent to own can support growing contractors who need additional capacity without full upfront commitment. It may suit eligible ABN holders with shorter trading history, depending on asset profile and credit assessment.
Approval, pricing, and term options vary between providers and are never guaranteed.
