FAQs

Is furniture rental cheaper than shipping?

For temporary postings to Australia from overseas, furniture rental can provide substantial savings compared to the cost and inconvenience of shipping furniture and goods into Australia.

Companies that rent furniture have found they can save up to 60% of the cost of relocating and housing employees, consultants, busy executives or visiting trainees. They find it conserves working capital, limits their liabilities and qualifies for a 100% tax deduction as part of the operating expenses.

With no minimum rental terms and low monthly costs, we can match budget to needs. Many of our customers find their furniture rentals average only a few dollars a day! And that can cover quality furniture for several rooms of furniture and accessories.

Is furniture rental tax efficient?

Under Section 51(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act, furniture rental payments are fully deductible as a business expense. This benefit extends to domestic furniture for housing and accommodation provided to employees, as well as furniture for business premises (reception areas, meeting rooms and boardrooms). Other commercial benefits:

As furniture has a low depreciation rate, the deduction for rental payments could be greater than the deduction available for depreciation and interest on purchased goods.
Rental provides positive net cash flow.
Rental offers great flexibility - after the initial rental period, the hirer can return the furniture, update it or purchase it.
