Tax Time - Great time to by computers
Its TAX time again in the information technology market places we are seeing at present
crazy prices on computer hardware and software
Advertisements from recruitment agencies for temporary desktop roll out engineers
An influx of second hand pc hardware into the secondhand market place
What is causing this?
The crazy prices are caused by the fact the big chain stores and suppliers, as well as the little shops want to move out the old stock before stock take. Also new models of computer hardware tend to be launched just after the new financial year starts. Shops and suppliers have to pay tax on the amount of stock they hold so by offering ridiculous prices they move it out of the shops and pay less tax, thus freeing themselves up for a better yearly profit margin.
The Advertisements from recruitment agencies for temporary desktop roll out engineers is because of the fact that big business tends to purchase their new computers at the end of the financial year for the number of reasons.
budget spending - companies or government departments have budgets they need to exhaust before the end of the financial year. – if they don’t the powers that be higher up the food chain often will not re allocate the same amount of money or great for their budget in the next financial year.
Cost effectiveness – suppliers giving discounts to move stock out of their warehouses so they don’t have to count it for taxation purposes makes this time of the year the best time for purchases of such equipment.
Taxation – computers are perfect investments as they can be written of in depreciation
Because of these options for businesses the corporations need teams of technicians to install them with minimal fuss and complication so they employ the services of an IT service company that puts together “roll out teams” that commission the new hardware and decommission the old equipment and organize disposal.
The influx of second hand pc hardware into the secondhand market place is caused by the purchase and roll out of major hardware to corporations and government departments. The old working hardware usually only about two to three years old is then disposed at Auction. Second hand computer dealers purchases these items from the auctions either by being their or online from the auction houses and then these machines are cleaned up and reconditioned and put out on the market for people to purchase. The type of hardware that we see on the market second hand wise are business desk tops, servers and printers from desktop the large poster printers and plotters. It would be very very rare to find an MP3 player second hand or gamming system caused by a roll out like this.
