French term

H.T d’investissement

French to English Bus/Financial Finance (general)
From a presentation about an equipment leasing company:

Un contrat qui intègre la globalité de votre projet : part matériels, logiciels et services, dans un seul loyer à partir de 450 euros H.T d’investissement

It's the "d'investissement" part that has me stumped! HT normally refers to VAT, but here are they talking about another type of tax?
Proposed translations (English)
5 ex-VAT

@ A/T I don't think so really, C — after all this isn't really and truly an investement, in the sense of CAPEX; here, it's really just a pretentious way of saying 'by spending...'
AllegroTrans Jan 30, 2018:
Can this mean "tax of/pertaining to the investment" i.e. all taxes, not just VAT?
ph-b (X) Jan 30, 2018:
à partir d'un investissement de 450€ HT That's how I read it, something like: "(... all of this) for a rental fee starting from €450 excluding tax".

Obviously you could plzay with the word order but 'investment' is used far more loosely in France. When I was a foster mother I was told that household breakages and garden climbing frames were part of me 'investment in my work' :-) It mainly just means outlay or putting money into
