Section 179 Tax Memo

Recent legislation provides favorable depreciation deductions for new or used eligible equipment purchases. The Section 179 deduction for new or used eligible equipment purchases is now permanent at the $500,000* level. New equipment purchases may be eligible for an additional 50% first-year bonus depreciation deduction through 2017. Application of these favorable tax computations can create a favorable tax break for those who choose to purchase equipment from Oilmen’s Truck Tanks, Inc.

A few examples are listed below:

* The Section 179 deduction begins to phase out when total qualified property purchases exceed $2,000,000.  The deduction is reduced dollar for dollar for total qualified equipment purchases over $2,000,000 during 2016.  Also the state tax deductions (varies from state to state) may increase the tax savings. The above computations do include certain basic assumptions.  All customers of Oilmen’s Truck Tanks, Inc. may not have the same tax scenarios and should get specific advice from their tax professional.
