At Bobcat, we understand the importance of this deduction and how it can positively impact your operations. Explore the benefits of Section 179 and learn how you can leverage it to enhance your business.
Key Points:
- Flexibility and Choices: The Section 179 Deduction is a versatile tax write-off that offers numerous advantages. Whether you've bought Bobcat equipment outright or are leasing it, you can deduct the purchase price. This deduction applies to both new and used Bobcat equipment, providing you with a broader range of choices to fit your needs.
- Timing Matters: To qualify for the Section 179 Deduction for the 2023 tax year, you must purchase or finance your Bobcat equipment between January 1, 2023, and December 31, 2023. It's crucial to put the equipment into service during the same tax year to make the most of this deduction.
- Fueling Small Business Growth: The Section 179 Deduction was introduced to stimulate growth among small businesses, and it has done just that. It empowers businesses, including construction companies, to invest in themselves, purchase more Bobcat equipment, and take on more projects.
How It Works:
Before Section 179, businesses had to write off assets over time through depreciation. With this deduction, you can write off the entire cost of qualifying Bobcat equipment in the year of purchase, maximizing your immediate savings. Here's how it works:
1. Purchase Bobcat Equipment:
- Calculate the cost of the Bobcat equipment you need.
- Acquire the Bobcat equipment your business requires - excavators, skid-steers, loaders whatever you need.
2. Deduct the Cost:
- Your company's tax preparer can assist you in making the most of this deduction.
3. Savings and Growth:
- With the deduction applied to your business's taxes, you'll immediately save money.
- These savings can be utilized for various purposes, from covering everyday expenses to securing loans and investing in new Bobcat equipment, allowing your business to take on more opportunities.
Limits and Qualifications:
While the Section 179 Deduction offers flexibility, there are some limitations and qualifications to consider:
1. Deduction Limit:
- The maximum deduction limit for 2023 is $1,160,000.
2. Spending Cap:
- There is a spending cap of $2,890,000 for 2023. Once a business exceeds this amount on qualifying Bobcat equipment, the deduction phases out dollar by dollar.
3. Qualifying Equipment:
- The types of qualifying equipment have expanded in recent years. Alongside Bobcat heavy equipment, other items such as software, computers, and improvements like HVAC systems can qualify.
Who Qualifies:
Many businesses can benefit from Section 179 tax savings. If your company plans to purchase new or used Bobcat equipment during the tax year and stays within the spending limits, you qualify for Section 179 tax savings. This deduction is especially advantageous for those in the construction industry.
Bonus Depreciation vs. Section 179:
While both Bonus Depreciation and Section 179 offer tax savings, there are key differences to consider:
- Bonus depreciation is more suitable for larger businesses, allowing them to continue saving on equipment even after exceeding Section 179's spending cap.
- Bonus depreciation can be carried forward to future years if a business has a net loss.
