Is Lease-to-Own Empowering Buyers? Or Creating a False Sense of Ownership? (1.Viewing)

It's a viable option if you're short on funds but always a risk until the domain is in your account under lock and key.
 
There is something else only savvy business men know...

You can add a domain name purchase into your advertising account and write it off 100% but any really large purchase may be scrutinized by Revenue Canada so purchasing a 50k domain over 5 years allows you to write off 10k per year.

Technically you can depreciate any tangible purchase over 5 years anyways but digital purchases have their own set of tax rules so for some businesses a purchase over a few years may be desirable even if they can afford to pay for the domain in it's entirety.

Absolutely, MacMan. Both sides must grasp risks and set clear terms. So how would you minimize them?

I really appreciate your insights, Mapledots!

Despite your explanation, how can one deduct 10k annually under Canadian tax law?
Are there other countries offering similar tax benefits?
