BUSINESS NEWS
IRS Sets forth rule changes
The IRS recently set forth some new depreciation news as a result of the economic stimulas package.
The benefits are as follows; Assuming that most of your equipment is 5-year life for depreciation
purposes, this means that most of your customers can deduct 20% of the cost in the first year (when
using accelerated depreciation [MACRS]).
Under the new rules, purchasers of non real estate assets
purchased after September 10,2001 and before September 11, 2004 can depreciate 30% in the first year.
Then, they can also depreciate the remaining basis under normal MACRS rules. If section 179 depreciation
is available, that's an added bonus. The result is a large write-off in the first year. Here is an example:
A $100,000 purchase of a 5-year MACRS asset may yield $57,440 of 2001 depreciation;
- $24,000 of sec. 179 immediate expense deduction
- $22,800 of new 30% immediate depreciation (($100,000 - $24,000) x 30%)
- $10,640 of regular MACRS depreciation (($100,000 - $24,000 - $22,800) x 20%)
So in this case, your customer could depreciate nearly 60% of the asset in the first year. If section
179 is not available, your customer could depreciate $44,000 per $100,000.
