Does anyone know the tax benefits of leasing/renting vs buying in Europe? I have to believe that there is a tax advantage to renting that we don't have, or maybe there's a penalty for purchasing we don't have.

We all have the same brand of machines at our disposal, no matter which side of the pond we happen to be on. We all live in a global economy and most companies now have international accounts. If there are advantages out there for companies to explore, I'm certain that they will. I guess time will tell whether renting/leasing becomes the norm over here.
