How you benefit from bonus depreciation under Section 168(k)<\/h2>\n

Bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) offers a powerful way to reduce taxable income for your construction business by allowing for 100% first-year write-offs on qualifying equipment including new, used, or reconditioned equipment. With these savings you improve cash flow and can reinvest into your operations immediately.<\/p>\n\t

How it works for construction equipment<\/h2>\n

Purchase or finance new or used equipment, place it in service during the year and deduct 100% of the cost against taxable income.<\/p>\n

For example, let’s say you purchase or finance a new or used excavator for $500,000 and place it in service during the year. Under section 168(k) you can deduct the full $500,000 in year one instead of depreciating it over 5-7 years.<\/p>\n\t

Reconditioned and rebuilt equipment<\/h2>\n

Bonus depreciation isn’t just for brand-new machines-it can also apply to used and rebuilt equipment when certain conditions are met. If the equipment is new to your business or you invest in major rebuilds, you may be eligible for significant tax savings.<\/p>\n
