| Good Reason to Buy New Equipment Now |
| |
The recently enacted economic stimulus package offers more than rebates to individual taxpayers – it also provides deep business tax incentives.
Through a temporary change in the tax code it provides a "bonus"
depreciation for new equipment purchases in 2008.
Businesses can deduct an additional 50-percent of the cost
of their investment instead of depreciating it over 5 to 7 years.
The legislation also increases expensing for small businesses.
This means that a business placing less than $800,000 of equipment
into service this year would be able to immediately deduct up to $250,000 – (up from $128,000) of its investment in 2008.
