Good Tax News
2/13/08
Businesses will see some improvements in the tax climate in 2008. The maximum amount of Section 179 expensing goes up to $250,000 (from $125,000) if the total asset additions are less than $800,000 (up from $500,000). This is a one-year increase and goes back to 2007 levels in 2009. Bonus depreciation is also back for assets placed in service during 2008. 50% of the asset cost (not already deducted in Section 179) can be used as a first-year bonus depreciation write-off. This is the same as the rules in 2001. SEE YOUR TAX EXPERT
