Bonus Depreciation

Bonus depreciation is a tax incentive that allows businesses to deduct more of the cost of certain new assets in the year they are purchased. This can help businesses save money on taxes and invest in new equipment or other assets.

The amount of bonus depreciation that businesses can claim depends on the type of asset and when it is purchased. For most assets, businesses can claim 100% of the cost in the year they are purchased. However, for some assets, the bonus depreciation rate is lower. For example, the bonus depreciation rate for passenger vehicles is 50%.

Bonus depreciation is available for both new and used assets. However, the used asset must be purchased after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2023.

Bonus depreciation is a temporary tax incentive that is scheduled to expire at the end of 2023. However, there is a possibility that it could be extended.
