]With the new year right around the corner, it’s a great time to plan for tax savings before it’s too late. Purchase automated welding machines from Bancroft Engineering to not only improve your manufacturing process but also to save your business money during tax time.
How Does Section 179 Expensing Work for Welding Equipment Purchases?
Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. § 179) is now available which allows you to write-off up to $1,000,000 of a qualifying equipment purchase for 2019.
In previous years, when businesses purchased welding equipment, they would write it off little by little through depreciation. For example, if your business spends $75,000 on a piece of machinery, you might write off $15,000 per year for five years.
Now, with Section 179, a business can write-off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment for the current tax year. As in our previous example, if your manufacturing business spends $75,000 on a piece of automated welding machinery, you can write off all $75,000 in the same tax year using Section 179. This makes a big difference for small and medium-sized businesses as it allows you to accelerate your tax savings!
How to Qualify for Section 179
Section 179 is an attractive tax deduction for manufacturing businesses—it’s also easy to understand and utilize. Most new and used tangible business equipment qualifies as long as it meets the following criteria:
- Equipment must be installed and ready for service in the same tax year
- More than 50% of the use of the equipment must be used for the business
