What is Truck Chattel Mortgage?
The name of this credit product can be confusing. But the format and features are extremely straightforward and easy to understand. The chattel is the vehicle and the mortgage is the funding itself. This is a secured format credit product where the vehicle is accepted as the security against the credit. For many operators, additional collateral is not requested. A key feature of this type of credit is its compatibility with the cash method of accounting. A method used by many enterprises in Australia.
When the credit is settled, the operator takes ownership of the vehicle and as such, the asset is entered into their books/balance sheet. We secure this type of funding with a fixed interest rate over a fixed credit term to provide a fixed monthly repayment schedule. A balloon is an optional inclusion.
The secured nature of this facility makes it suitable to a wide range of enterprise set-ups and all types of commercial vehicles – heavy duty, medium duty and light duty. Both new and used vehicles may be funded with this credit facility.
- Secured truck financing products.
- Truck Chattel Mortgage suits cash method of accounting.

Get Truck Chattel Mortgage Tax Benefits
The major tax benefit or deduction with this type of credit facility is realised when the vehicle is depreciated each year when the annual accounts and income tax return is prepared. The amount of the depreciation is determined by the relevant ATO schedule at the time. When accelerated asset depreciation measures are in place, they can be used.
- GST on the truck can be claimed in full on the next corresponding BAS after purchase.
- GST is not applied to repayments or to the balloon.
- Deductible interest payments.
- Monthly repayments (ex interest) not deductible.
- Depreciation of the truck delivers a tax deduction.
Truck Chattel Mortgage Solution Compared with Truck Leasing
Leasing is significantly different from this type of credit. Lease is compatible with the accruals accounting method not the cash method. Leasing is described as an ‘off balance sheet’ facility as the lender retains ownership so the vehicle is not entered into the buyer’s accounts.
This feature leads to differences in tax deductions. As the vehicle is not on the balance sheet, it cannot be depreciated. The tax deduction is realised with fully tax deductible lease payments. GST is also treated differently. GST applies to the monthly lease payments and claimed accordingly.
Interest rates on leasing are typically slightly above the lower rated secured credit facility. While there are differences, both facilities offer extremely affordable and workable funding options especially with our lower across the board interest rates.
- Lease higher rates than Truck Chattel Mortgage
- Competitive rates, versatile options.
- Differences in accounting method, tax and balance sheet approach.
