In one of the chain company, it only exits leasing contract both with computers and printers/ scanner equipment. Contracts cover fixing and change by their services. All equipment are guaranteed to provide with energy star certified. So there is only exist fixed contract prizes. For complying MRc2 credit requirements which path should I fallow?

It is possible to document this credit using lease costs by isolating the costs incurred during the performance period. So if you pay a monthly fee, you would include the total amount of fee paid for all of the performance period months. If you made a single upfront payment, and that payment was within the performance period, you would include that entire payment in the calculations. Hope this helps!
