When it comes to expanding your business, it is important to be informed about all the benefits you can receive for purchasing or leasing new equipment. Section 179 Tax Deduction is a benefit that small & even some large businesses can take advantage of, alongside financing their equipment with Equipment Finance Group.
Taking Advantage of Everything Equipment Financing Has to Offer
Let’s start by breaking down Section 179, allowing you to clearly understand how the tax deduction benefits your business when adding new equipment.
The 2020 deduction limit for Section 179 is $1,040,000.00. In order to take advantage of this deduction, the equipment must be purchased or financed and installed during 2020 (January 1st, 2020-December 31st, 2020).
One of the main reasons the US Government created the Section 179 Deduction was because they want to encourage small, and even large, businesses to invest in themselves. This deduction is an incentive for companies to update their equipment and expand their business.
