As an alternative to outright purchase, where you have to pay in full up-front to own the EPOS solution, you can (subject to credit terms and acceptance) spread the costs via a monthly direct debit payment typically for 3 years. By this method you don’t own the EPOS, your hiring it. There can be other benefits of Lease Hire, as you can offset the total costs against the profits of your business on your P&L (profit and loss account), whereas with outright purchase the EPOS system would sit on your balance sheet, only allowing you to write down by the current HMRC depreciation rules applicable at that time. For more information, please get advice from your accountant. The other benefit of Lease Hiring for say 3 years, is at the end you could upgrade your EPOS system to the latest version available at that time, which is easier to do if you are Lease Hiring, because you send back the old system for a new one.

  • This is when a customer purchases their EPOS system and pays in full up front to own the system as an asset of their business.
  • If you own the EPOS system you can then operate the hardware and software for as long as the solution is operational and functioning.
  • Potentially, you could change the software you use on your hardware.
  • The tax treatment for Purchase is different to Lease Hire. We recommend you seek advice from your accountant as to which method is best suited to your business for tax including credit position.

Today’s competitive business environment demands not only top-notch customer service but also strategic planning which requires the analysis of data in minute detail. Any business which relies on face-to-face transactions for all or part of its revenue must strive towards making those transactions as efficient as possible and collect as much information about the transaction/customer as possible in order to inform business decision making. An EPOS system not only makes the process of transacting business as convenient as possible for the staff and the customer but also has the added advantage of collecting and reporting detailed information on sales, customers, purchase and profit activity.

Lease rental can be very tax efficient, as it is 100% tax allowable against the profits of your business, plus you spread the cost of your investment, which can help with cash flow.

An EPOS system is used to improve the overall efficiency of a business. If the right system is used then it can recover its cost within few months. Please check our ROI tool to see how much an EPOS system could save you.
