Yes, this is true. However, with a lot of leases (especially IT equipment)
the lease company tends to give it to you at the end of the lease (as they
have made their cash by hiring it to u and claiming the tax allowances for
themselves from HMG). As a G3 (for instance) is basically worth bugger all
after a 4 yeqr lease then it usually ain't worth the lease company
collecting and auctioning it!

I've never leased anything (looking long and hard at the sums, which tend to
make sense...but I'm old fashioned!), but my old man leased some cash
registers once for his business; at the end of the lease the lease company
gave it to him......dunno what the tax position was on this??
