Section 179 in 2019: Don’t Miss this Opportunity
The Section 179 tax deduction provides tax relief for small businesses. It gives tax incentives to companies making qualifying purchases, encouraging them to invest in themselves through equipment cost deductions. Although initially developed to help small businesses, larger businesses also benefit from Section 179 in 2019.
Section 179 Benefits Explained
Businesses deduct the FULL price of a qualifying purchase in the year it is purchased, rather than depreciated over several years. Businesses can write off 100% of purchased or leased equipment, up to $1,000,000, with a cap of $2,500,000 for the total equipment purchased. Bonus depreciation changes from year to year, and is currently 100% in 2019.
