Why is renting better
than buying?
In recent years, companies have faced global changes and unpredictable events that have impacted workforce availability, increased wages, and raised energy costs. Simultaneously, disruptions in global supply chains have made access to raw materials more challenging.
Operational hardware and software rental can be the ideal solution to help your business adapt to the growing complexity and unpredictability of logistics operations.
Make your operating
costs more flexible
Operational leasing is an alternative to purchasing, allowing your company to use hardware and/or software for a fixed period (typically 3 or 5 years) by paying a periodic fee. This fee often includes a range of related services.
This approach reduces fixed assets and provides greater liquidity.

Perché noleggiare è meglio di acquistare
Tax Deductions
Operating leases are considered a service, meaning lease payments are fully deductible in the fiscal year they are incurred, without the need to amortize the asset over time.
Lower Initial Investment Limited to Installation Costs
The company avoids capital immobilization for asset purchases, while installation costs can be treated as operating expenses and are therefore fully deductible.
More Transparent Costs
Operating lease payments are fixed and contractually predetermined, eliminating risks associated with asset depreciation or unexpected management costs.
No Upfront VAT and Fully Deductible Payments for IRES and IRAP
VAT is applied only to individual lease payments, improving cash flow management. Additionally, lease payments are fully deductible for IRES and IRAP, reducing the overall tax burden.
Lease Payments Recorded as Operating Expenses
Operating lease payments are classified as operating expenses (OPEX) rather than capital expenditures (CAPEX). This lowers taxable income without increasing the value of assets on the balance sheet.
No Balance Sheet Obligation
Since the asset remains the property of the lessor, the company is not required to record it as a fixed asset on its balance sheet, improving financial ratios, particularly leverage.
No Asset Disposal Costs
At the end of the contract, the asset is returned to KFI without the need for disposal or resale, eliminating additional costs related to asset decommissioning.
Immediate ROI
With no large upfront investment and full deductibility of lease payments, companies can achieve a faster ROI, using the asset without tying up capital and immediately benefiting from tax advantages.
