Operating Lease
What is an Operating Lease?
An Operating Lease allows for a residual based structure and allows end-user the benefit of recognizing payments as a “rent” expense which flows through income statement creating certain tax benefits.
A True or Tax Lease (Operating Lease) is a transaction which qualifies as a lease under the Internal Revenue Code such that the lessor takes on the risks of ownership and the lessee is allowed to claim the entire amount of the lease rental payment as a tax deduction. Under this lease type, the lessor may claim depreciation expense.
