Tax-Exempt Leasing
Municipalities across the nation, large and small, often face the difficulty in meeting their capital equipment and facility needs. Tax-exempt lease purchase financing is a technique that allows a municipality to purchase equipment and make periodic lease payments over the useful life of the asset. The payments under a lease arrangement are subject to the annual budgetary process and are included as a line item in the operating budget. This results in yearly obligation, thus eliminating the need for a referendum to approve long-term debt. If structured properly, the interest portion of the lease payments is exempt from federal income tax resulting in a low tax-exempt interest rate to the borrower.
Who is eligible to utilize Tax-Exempt Leasing?
Any municipality or political subdivision that can use tax-exempt securities can utilize tax-exempt leasing; i.e., States, Counties, Cities, Towns, School Districts, Fire Districts, Water Districts and More....
