Chattel Mortgage is a sensible approach for any business or individual that needs to either upgrade or acquire a new or used Vehicle. This is a fixed loan that provides for the purchase of a Vehicle in exchange for a series of payments. The Vehicle is used for security.
Flexibility is an attractive feature of a chattel mortgage. You can choose to finance the total purchase price, use a deposit or trade-in or add a final lump sum balloon payment to reduce the loan repayments. You can even use the GST refund to contribute towards paying off the loan, thereby reducing the amount financed, monthly repayment and the interest paid over the term of the loan.
By choosing a chattel mortgage, you become owner of the Vehicle while the financier secures a charge over the Vehicle. As you are the owner you may claim a tax deduction for the depreciation on the Vehicle as well as the interest component of the loan repayments.
