I was going to put this under the accounting/tax section, but it isn't related to buying property!
I'm hunting around for a grand piano and as my accountant is away, need some advice on how best to finance this. I am a piano teacher/accompanist and would use the instrument at home to practice the repertoire that I need to prepare for work. I don't teach from home and don't intend to.
Am I able to:
1. Use one of our lines of credit that is secured by one of our Ip's to fund the purchase and legally claim the interest? Or would I be best to secure a loan separate to our properties?
2. Depreciate the instrument annually in my tax return.
3. Is it best to pay cash?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Regards Jason
