The tax benefits of art leasing

Decrease in taxable income

  • 100% of the rent paid is deductible from corporate income tax (IS) or income tax (IRPP), according to article 238 bis AB of the General Tax Code. Thus the financing of a work of art by leasing is accompanied by an advantageous tax deduction.

Limited risks

  • Leasing allows you to keep your borrowing capacity because it is considered as a rental expense. Each month, you pay a rent, i.e. the monthly payment previously validated with the bank, which allows you to progressively finance the work being acquired while already exhibiting it in your workspace.

Exercise of option

  • Before signing the art leasing contract, you choose to spread out your rental payments as you wish, from 13 to 48 months, and you receive a precise simulation of the tax savings realized thanks to the tax exemption. At the end of the contractual period, you strengthen your company's assets by simply paying the residual value equal to 3% of the financed amount.

Who can lease art?

All companies with headquarters in France are able to benefit from art leasing. Artsper also offers its art leasing service to companies located in Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. Among the companies that have already used our services are medical practices, restaurants, hotels, cafés, coworking spaces, real estate agencies, large corporations and startups.

Professionals such as architects, lawyers, notaries, chartered accountants, physiotherapists, nurses and doctors can also set up a leasing contract and acquire works of art for their workspaces with a tax deduction. In both cases, 100% of the rent paid each month is considered as a rental expense and is deducted from the taxable income, either on income tax (for independent professionals) or on corporate tax (for companies).

What are the requirements for buying leased art on Artsper?

Buying art by leasing (via a credit lease or via the LOA, rental with purchase option) must respect certain criteria:

  • This service is reserved for companies and independent professionals.
  • The price of the work on Artsper must be at least €1,000.

Please note that leasing is different from the patronage law. Under the patronage law, a company can also acquire a work of art and benefit from tax advantages. In effect, it can amortize its investment by placing one fifth of the total amount per year for five years in its expenses. This scheme is accompanied by specific and stricter conditions, such as the fact that the work must be exhibited in a place open to the public and that it must be purchased by a living artist.

Is it possible to commission a custom-made work?

On Artsper, it is entirely possible to commission a piece of art, which means asking one of our 25,000 artists on the platform to create a piece of art specifically for your project.

With the help of our art consultants, find the perfect artist for your business and tell them what you need. Whether it's a monumental sculpture for a lobby, a series of paintings on a specific theme, or drawings in line with your brand, our artists will be happy to create a unique piece for you to lease.
