Buying new equipment for restaurants is expensive, especially if you’re opening a new venue. If you’ve ever had a financial shock replacing an old piece of equipment or buying a new one outright, you might wonder whether it wouldn’t be better to lease restaurant equipment instead – although that’s often not fully possible.
Commercial leasing of restaurant equipment offers many advantages, and when the equipment comes with a 5-year warranty (a far longer period than you’d typically get with a direct purchase), the option becomes extremely appealing.

With leasing, you get access to the equipment you need with a much smaller upfront investment, and the remaining, spread-out payments can be covered directly from the profit generated by using that equipment. (For example, a pizza oven can bring in a larger customer base and pay for itself through products you couldn’t previously offer.) The advantage of buying through leasing over simply renting equipment is that, in many cases, you’ll pay an equivalent monthly amount, but once the equipment is paid off, it stays yours and keeps contributing significantly to your profit. The 5-year warranty takes the worry out of breakdowns, and the period is more than generous for covering your investment and turning a profit.
Dacris.mt offers extremely advantageous terms for leasing professional equipment, along with free consulting.
Leasing Costs Are Tax-Deductible
Leasing expenses are tax-deductible in Romania and fall under Article 22 of the Fiscal Code: Tax Exemption for Reinvested Profit
- (1) Profit invested in technological equipment, electronic computers and peripheral equipment, cash registers, control and invoicing machines, as well as in computer software, whether produced and/or purchased, including under finance lease agreements, and put into use for business purposes, is exempt from tax. The tangible assets eligible for this tax exemption are those listed in subgroup 2.1, specifically class 2.2.9, of the Catalog on the Classification and Normal Useful Life of Fixed Assets.
- (2) Invested profit under paragraph (1) refers to the balance of the profit and loss account, i.e., the cumulative gross accounting profit from the start of the year up to the quarter or year in which the assets referred to in paragraph (1) are put into use. The corporate tax exemption for investments made is granted within the limit of the corporate tax owed for that period.
- (3) For taxpayers required to pay corporate tax quarterly, if investments are made in prior quarters, the amount of previously invested profit for which the exemption was already applied is subtracted from the cumulative gross accounting profit calculated from the start of the year. If, in the quarter in which the assets referred to in paragraph (1) are put into use, an accounting loss is recorded, and an accounting profit is recorded in the following quarter or at year-end, the corporate tax related to the invested profit is not recalculated.
Getting new equipment for your restaurant is an investment, so weighing your options carefully matters. Before making your choice, compare leasing options to make sure you pick what’s right for your business. Renting restaurant equipment has its pros and cons, but being aware of them will help you make the best decision.
