    In business, always buy. Write-off, write-off, write-off.

    • Actually dMullins, it is more complicated than that. You can write off only the depreciated value over 4 years, %25 per year. With a lease, it is 100% write off from the beginning.onekid
    • What's your point? I understand how it works just fine.dMullins
    • The point is that many accountants would say that leasing is a better option. You stated that is was always best to buy. I do not think that is true in all cases. In fact in ours, it is better to lease for tax reasons.onekid
    • I always for get how short these notes have to be.onekid
    • some jurisdictions lease costs are 100% deductable. at a low rate it ends up advantageous to lease.monNom
