Lowered Cost of Equipment after Tax Savings:

Business owners who acquire equipment for their business: machinery, computers and other tangible goods thru equipment leasing, usually prefer to deduct the cost in a single tax year. This deduction is known by its section in the tax codes, a Section 179 deduction

Section 179 Deduction

If your equipment is installed in 2008, you can benefit from a Non-Tax/Capital Lease and expense up to $250,000. You may depreciate any excess as determined by the depreciation schedule for that asset. The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 also created a bonus depreciation of 50%. This bonus is in addition to regular first-year depreciation. To find out your tax savings, and the true cost of your equipment acquisition, use our Tax Savings Lease Calculator. Please note that you will not see any depreciation in this calculation until your equipment cost exceeds $250,000. Companies cannot write off more than their taxable income.
