Planning Overview

The Section 179 deduction allows businesses to write off the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year it’s purchased and used, rather than depreciating it over time. This tax benefit helps companies reduce their taxable income immediately, making it easier to invest in essential assets while lowering overall costs.

Talk to your Amur Representative to see how financing can help you take advantage of this deduction.
