So if you want it, and the organisation is willing to sell it, then despite having paid it off you would end up paying an additional cost and may as well have paid the tax and bought outright in the first instance?</p> <p>Or the organisation lets you keep it but it's still not yours, and if you leave then technically you have to pay the balance but leave the bike.... Is this right or have I got the wrong end of the stick? </p>
