Integrating art into the office while optimizing your costs
Integrating artwork into professional spaces is no longer a mere aesthetic approach. It has become a truly strategic tool for improving brand image, strengthening employee engagement, and creating an inspiring environment. Thanks to art leasing, also called rent-to-own, businesses can enhance their premises with original and contemporary works without tying up their cash.
This system is based on a contract of professional rental from 13 to 48 months, during which the company pays fixed monthly rents. These rents are deductible from taxable income since they are counted as operating expenses, thus offering a tax optimization not insignificant. At the end of the contract, the company can buy back the work at a very advantageous residual price (generally 5% of its initial value), extend the rental or renew with a new work.
To remain within a compliant tax framework, it is advisable to limit rents to 5% of annual turnover. This ensures sound and efficient management of the operation, while contributing to the motivation through art in business.
