Purchase Inspection Equipment in 2011 to take advantage of 100% Bonus Depreciation

Congress used the 2010 Tax Relief Act to double and extend Bonus Depreciation from 50% to 100% for new equipment acquired and placed in service this year. Two sections of the current 2010 Tax Relief Act added incentives for companies to invest in new equipment to improve their manufacturing processes.

The Bonus Depreciation section allows businesses to use first year bonus depreciation of 100% on new capital equipment purchased before December 31, 2011 and put into service before January 1, 2012. In essence this calculates out to the cost of the equipment being reduced by more than one-third.

Section 179 increased previous limits and allows businesses to write off up to $500,000 of qualified capital expenditures up to $2 million. Software is eligible for expensing under Section 179.

R&D Incentive tax write-offs for labor assigned to new process improvement projects during the first year of their implementation can also be deducted. This includes direct labor as well as a percentage of management time.

Be forewarned: waiting another year will reduce these savings by 50%!

More information is available at www.depreciationbonus.org. Also, please be sure to consult with your tax professional to take full advantage of this program.
