Financial lease (and hire purchase) is a binding contract for the
financing of tangible fixed assets. The term of the contract is usually
as long as the economic working life of the asset.
During this period the purchase value of the asset, increased by costs,
is paid in instalments. The leasing party is the economic owner of the
leased product.
- Operational lease
- This item concerns all tangible fixed assets acquired by operational
lease. Operational lease (and hire) is a terminable contract for the
right of use of the tangible fixed asset for a certain period of time in
return for periodic payments. The economic ownership stays with the
leasing party. - Proceeds from sale of fixed assets
- Proceeds from sold tangible fixed assets equal the realised sales price
minus conveyance costs where applicable.
