Equipment Leasing Tax Savings Calculator

As Tax Day approaches, many businesses are focused on tax deductions, equipment depreciations and tax savings. Equipment leasing is a smart choice for business owners looking to acquire new equipment for a number of reasons. Equipment leasing can also benefit businesses during tax time as well.

Use Tiger Leasing's Equipment Leasing Tax Savings Calculator to find out how you can lower the true cost of ownership on your business equipment. Our Equipment Leasing Tax Savings Calculator is easy to use, and you can have an estimate of your savings immediately.

Recently, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HR 2847) was passed. This bill extends the increased section 179 deductions through 2010. This amount had been increased to $250,000 for 2009 by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Non-Tax/Capital Leases allow you to take advantage of Section 179 deductions for recently leased equipment. These equipment leases also allow you to depreciate any excess as determined by the depreciation schedule for that asset.

Equipment leases allow for other tax benefits, so contact your tax professional today. For an estimate of your tax savings, and the cost of your equipment acquisition, use our Equipment Leasing Tax Savings Calculator.

Our Equipment Leasing Tax Savings Calculator is just a tool for estimating your savings. Please contact your tax professional to learn about the specific impact to your business.

The Year of the Tiger

The Chinese Zodiac dictates that 2010 is the year of the Tiger!

The year of the Tiger occurs every twelfth year. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which starts a New Year on the first of January every year, the Chinese New Year doesn't fall on a specific date. The year of the Tiger begins on February 14, 2010 and ends February 2, 2011.

In the past, the year of the Tiger has occurred in 1914, 1926, 1938, 1950, 1962, 1974, 1986 and 1998. According to Chinese tradition, people born in these years share certain common traits. The Tiger is a sign of courage, self-reliance, friendliness, hopefulness, and resilience. Those born in the year of the Tiger are said to be sensitive, intellectual thinkers and extremely sympathetic as well as brave and influential.

Tigers are clever and sharp-witted. These traits make them fast learners. In business, Tigers are natural born leaders, and work best when they know they are working towards important goals. Tiger Leasing has written a short, entertaining story - "The Tiger and the Money Tree". You'll find ancient wisdom and secrets for growing your "Money Tree" with Tiger Leasing. Tiger Leasing works hard to make sure all of our customers are successful when working towards their important goals.

Equipment Leasing and Credit Scores

Equipment leasing goes hand in hand with credit scores. When you apply for a lease, you're hoping for a quick approval, not an extensive investigation. Understanding what equipment leasing companies are looking for from your application is the first step in strengthening your leasing application. At Tiger Leasing , we compile information from different credit reporting sources. For a more specific look at what Tiger Leasing takes into account when considering leasing application, please read our Credit Scores and the Lease Approval Process.

We utilize the Dun & Bradstreet Report to learn more about your company and its payment history. When evaluating your application, we take into account your PAYDEX score, the higher your PAYDEX score, the better!

When businesses are closely held, Tiger Leasing will look at credit bureau reports on individual owners. These credit bureau reports give us an idea of payment histories and outstanding borrowings. Tiger Leasing uses the Experian credit reporting bureau for a report that calculates a FICO score. As with the PAYDEX score, the higher your credit score, the better your chances of securing a lease with us.

Tiger Leasing encourages all businesses and individuals to check your credit report periodically for errors. According to recent studies, almost 80% of credit reports contain errors and almost 25% have mistakes serious enough to cause consumers to be denied credit.

Tiger Leasing relies on credit scores when evaluating potential leasing applications, though they are not the only factor we consider. Your business history, professional experience and cash reserves are also taken into account. At Tiger Leasing, we strive to discuss every aspect of our leasing applications with potential customers, pointing out both the good and bad information we find. Our goal is to make the application process a smooth one, so you can attain the equipment your business needs.
