However, in the latter case, the deduction will be conditional, in a resolutory manner, on the exercise of the purchase option.

The provision of assets must be understood as the availability of the thing that is the object of the contract, that is, upon delivery, that is, it represents the method of acquisition of ownership by the purchaser.

The deduction will be applied to the entire amount corresponding to the tax period in which the investment is made.
