Business contract hire in Cambridge
Business contract hire is the most widely used leasing structure for Cambridge companies. You pay a fixed monthly amount over an agreed term, typically two to four years, returning the vehicle at the end. No depreciation risk. No resale negotiation. No large capital outlay.
For VAT-registered businesses, 50% of the VAT on car leasing and 100% of the VAT on van leasing is typically reclaimable, making contract hire significantly more tax-efficient than outright purchase in most cases.
