Other types of Leases
Domestic Lease and
International Lease
Definition: The Domestic Lease and
International Lease are the types of leases classified on the
basis of the places where the parties to the lease agreement reside. The lease
is the agreement between the lessor and the lessee; wherein the lessor grants
permission to the lessee to use his property in return for periodical rental
payments.
Domestic Lease: When all the parties to the lease agreement Viz. Lessor, lessee
and the equipment supplier are domiciled or belongs to the same country, is
called as a domestic lease.
International Lease: The international lease refers to the type of lease agreement
where one or more parties to the lease agreement reside or are domiciled in
different countries.
There are two types of international lease: the Import
Lease and the Cross Border Lease. In the former type of
lease, both the lessor and the lessee belong to the same country, but the
equipment supplier stays in some other country. In the case of a cross-border
lease, both the lessor and the lessee stay in different countries, irrespective
of where the equipment supplier stays.
Sale
& Lease Back and Direct Lease
Definition: The Sale
& Lease Back and Direct Lease are the other kinds of leases
that offer different benefits to the parties to the lease agreement. The lease
refers to the contractual agreement between the lessor, who owns the property
and the lessee to whom the right is transferred to use the lessor’s property
for a particular period of time in return for periodical payments
Sale & Lease Back: Under this kind of lease agreement, the vendor
of the asset sells his asset to the leasing company and leases it back in order
to enjoy the uninterrupted use of the leased asset in his business operations.
Generally, this kind of lease agreement is used by the entrepreneurs who want
to free their money blocked on the assets or equipment and use that money for
some other purpose.
The sale & lease back arrangement could
pose problems for the leasing company because it is quite difficult to
establish a fair market value of the asset being acquired. This is because, the
secondary market for the asset may not exist and also the depreciation value
claimed for the tax purposes could not be more than the value claimed earlier,
by the vendor.
Direct Lease: The direct lease is a simple form of a lease
agreement where the lessor and the lessee are two separate entities and may
have either the operating or a finance lease agreement. There can be two types
of direct lease: Bipartite Lease and the Tripartite
Lease.
In a bipartite lease, there are two parties to
the lease agreement; one is the lessor, and the other is the lessee. Whereas in
the case of a tripartite lease agreement, there are three parties to the
agreement, one is the supplier of the equipment; the other is the lessor, and
the third one is the lessee.
