Actual cost of leasing is less than borrowing due to:

  1. No need to finance PST and GST as it is added to monthly payment.
  2. Lease payment is 100% tax deductible. (*An advantage of 48% write off if you are in the top marginal bracket)
  3. Only the interest portion of the loan is tax deductible.
  4. It takes approximately 10 years to fully write-off equipment through depreciation.
** 43 payments - lease is stretched an additional 7 months to a $10.00 buyout - very advantageous!
