To lease or not to lease…or to purchase? 

When it comes to getting a new vehicle for the pharmacy, one of the most common questions we get asked from owners is “should I lease or should I purchase a vehicle?” 

In this episode of Master The Margin, Scotty Sykes, CPA, CFP and Kathy Blanchard, Senior Pharmacy Accountant break down this question and what it means for your tax strategy including:

  • Why leasing might limit your tax strategy
  • How purchasing a vehicle can unlock large write-offs
  • The critical importance of mileage logs and business-use documentation
  • How a separate delivery LLC could protect your pharmacy from liability
  • And more!
