Dec 1, 2011 Important 4th quarter tax planning implications – to take advantage of the incentives, you must act by the end of this month. Both the ‘Tax Relief Act of 2010’ as well as the ‘Jobs Act of 2010’ that passed in late 2010 affected Section 179 in a positive way for this 2011 tax year. The newest changes are as follows:
- The Section 179 Deduction limit increased to $500,000.
- The total amount of equipment that can be purchased increased to $2 million. This includes most new and used capital equipment, and also includes certain software.
- “Bonus Depreciation” increased to 100% on qualified assets. However, this can be taken on new equipment only.
When applying these provisions, Section 179 is generally taken first, followed by Bonus Depreciation – unless the business has no taxable profit in 2011.
Also, many businesses find Section 179 Qualified Financing to be an attractive option in 2011.
