Corporate Finance: Leasing

New German tax reform acts result in a drastically decrease of municipal tax income during the next years. This results in the urgent need for new municipal income sources. The business of cross-border leasing in Germany concentrates on municipal companies and municipalities. Private sector industries are reluctant due to the lack of suitable assets.

German municipal companies face tough competition and are in a process of privatization and globalization. There is a strong need to optimize financing structures and to gain windfall profits by utilizing innovative leasing transactions. Over the last five years cross-border leasing transactions have become part of municipal business and permanent discussions.
