This section of the IRS Tax Code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualified equipment from their taxable income. The purchased, leased, or financed equipment must be used in the same tax year the deduction is taken and must be with specified dollar limits of Section 179.

Even if new owners make only a couple of equipment payments, they may get the full deduction. A limited cash flow results in full tax advantage. When the owner leases or finances the equipment, tax savings may even exceed the first year’s payments. Businesses get a chance to grow and add other needed capital equipment.

December deadline

Act now! To qualify for the Section 179 deduction, new owners must buy, install, and use the display before December 31.
