2024 Tax Incentives: Section 179

Tax provisions accelerate depreciation on qualifying equipment, office furniture, technology, software and other business items. Qualifying businesses may deduct a significant portion, up to $1,220,000 in 2024 (to be adjusted for inflation in future years). There is a dollar-for-dollar phase out for purchases over $3.05 million, meaning when purchases are greater than $4.27 million, you will not receive this benefit intended for small to mid-size businesses.

For 2024, bonus depreciation drops to 60% on qualifying assets. Consequently, Section 179 may help bolster your bottom line, enabling you to garner the benefits of new equipment and technology that can help grow your business.

For eligible businesses to capture these tax savings, qualifying property must be placed in service before December 31, 2024. Simply choose your business equipment or technology and Ascentium can design payments to help you make a profitable decision.
