By GlobalDataCEO Andrzej Krzemiński, who was also appointed
as a board member at Leaseurope in 2010 and is chairman of the
Polish leasing association, said: “It’s
financially and
fiscally competitive especially for
the medical sector customers, because
the rate of tax
on medical
equipment is lower in loan than in leasing.
“The loan is also a
favorable solution for farmers who can therefore get easier
access to the financial aid from EU funds.
The borrower also becomes the owner of the purchased equipment.”
