There has never been a better time to invest in new equipment. There are incredible tax incentives for 2008 that allow you to take accelerated write-off of your capital equipment purchases. This may allow you to:

• Save as much as 40% on equipment under $250,000 including Piranha Ironworkers, Press Brakes and Shears, Bertsch Bending Rolls, Whitney Plasma Cutting Machinery and Portable Presses.
• Save as much as 30% on Whitney Combination Plasma-Punch Fabricating Centers.

Profitable metal fabricators who file U.S. federal income tax forms and invest up to $1 Million in capital equipment purchases can receive big benefits from this program. The benefit involves accelerated write-off of the equipment in Tax Year 2008. The tax write-offs come from three sources:

1. Section 179 Federal Income Tax Deduction: this allows manufacturers to expense the first $250,000 (almost twice the 2007 limit) of equipment purchased in 2008 from their taxable income. This benefit provides maximum benefit when the total investment is equal to or less than $800,000, and phases out on a dollar-for-dollar basis to $1,050,000. It is not available for use when total capital purchases exceed $1,050,000.

2. 50% Bonus Depreciation: This special write-off is available for new equipment purchases in 2008 only. It allows manufacturers to write-off an additional 50% of their capital investment during the first year.

3. Standard Depreciation: Companies can still take their standard depreciation after taking advantage of the above two programs.

These savings are the result of accelerated write-off of your capital equipment purchases. Not everyone will qualify for these savings. The information in this page is offered as general guidance and is not intended as specific legal, tax or accounting advice. These calculations are only estimates and everyone's tax situation is different. Always check with your accountant to confirm eligibility for tax benefits.
