The Small Business Jobs & Credit Act is extended for 2014!
The
Federal Government has once again extended the ‘Small Business Jobs and Credit
Act of 2010’ which means it is not too late to take advantage of Section 179
Deductions!
What is the Section 179 Deduction?
Essentially,
Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase
price of qualifying equipment purchased or financed during the 2012 tax year
from their gross income.
Why does Section 179 exist?
To
help motivate the American economy, the US Government developed incentives to
encourage businesses to invest in themselves. Section 179 allows
businesses to write off the full purchase price of qualifying equipment all at
once, as opposed to a little at a time through depreciation.
What does this mean for you?
All businesses that purchase and put into use less than $200,000
in business equipment during tax year 2014 are subject to qualify for the
Section 179 Deduction.
Therefore, if you invest in a Trotec Laser system, you
may be able to deduct the full purchase price from your taxable income.
2014 Deduction Limit = $500,000
Retroactive to January 1, 2014 and Expires December 31, 2014
This is good on new and used equipment, as well as off-the-shelf software.
