Get More Bang for Your Buck on Machine Tools & Equipment Purchases with Tax Reform
The end of the year is fast approaching. Don’t miss all the purchasing benefits on new and used machine tools and other equipment. Get started on the right foot by strengthening your business for 2019 and investing in more efficient machinery that can help boost productivity!
Did you know, businesses can now write off 100 percent of the cost of qualifying asset purchases for federal tax purposes through the use of bonus depreciation thanks to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act passed at the end of 2017. Prior to tax reform, only 50 percent bonus depreciation was allowed and the remainder of the purchase was depreciated over the tax life of the asset.
Another piece of good news is that the tax reform greatly expanded the applicability of another asset write-off provision: Section 179. By using this deduction in combination with state tax treatment it may be even more beneficial than 100 percent bonus depreciation in certain situations. Be sure and consult with your tax consultant as to which expensing method will work best for your business.
