Tax Leases

The maritime sector lends itself to value-added tax leasing transactions due to its capital intensive nature, the typically high-value of its assets, varying corporate tax profiles, and jurisdiction-specific tax incentives to promote the industry.

Tax lease structures are generally complex in form and risk profile. TRIDENS assists corporate lessees by originating tax lease transactions which suit their specific financial objectives, accounting policies, and asset bases. To achieve these goals, TRIDENS assists in evaluating risks, developing appropriate structures, and in running the transaction process. This approach leaves management more time to focus on its core business while allowing each lessee to participate in value-added structured finance opportunities.

For large tax lease arrangers, identifying appropriate corporate lessees in the maritime sector is often outside their area of expertise and scope of relationships. TRIDENS works with arrangers to bring their new structures and concepts to the right lessees.
