The bonus depreciation is dropping from 100% to 80% this year. Moreover, this signals a gradual phase-out over the next five years. As a result, this change affects how businesses can write off purchases like vehicles and equipment in the first year.
Unlike Section 179, which requires a profit for write-offs and cannot create a loss, depreciation can stimulate the economy by allowing losses. Indeed, this distinction is vital for strategic financial planning.
JCG urges businesses to make purchases based on long-term business strategy rather than solely for tax savings. Therefore, this approach encourages more sustainable financial decisions.
The Secure Act is an exciting development for small businesses. It offers tax credits for businesses setting up a 401k plan, encouraging investment in employees and enhancing benefits.
JCG highlighted the potential of self-directed IRAs for investing in businesses or real estate tax-free. Particularly, this strategy can be beneficial for small community investors.
Important for businesses impacted by COVID-19, this credit has upcoming deadlines. Businesses need to be aware of these to reclaim significant amounts potentially.
A proposed bill could expand opportunity zones. Subsequently, capital gains from investments in these zones could become tax-free, potentially fostering community growth and investment.
