The United Kingdom is Germany's second largest export market inside Europe. For a long time leasing and financing transactions have been proven ways of acquiring capital goods in the United Kingdom. One reason for this is the favourable tax treatment provided in some cases. Today about 30 per cent of all investments in operating plant and machinery are realised through asset finance transactions. The United Kingdom is one of the largest leasing markets in Europe. Its volume of business exceeds 42 billion Euros a year. Deutsche Leasing (UK) Ltd specialises in assisting companies with the import and export of capital goods.
