Wrapping Up Capital Spending for 2019

As you close out your financial records for 2019, have you spent the money allocated for capital expenditures this year? While you may not feel the need to spend all your capital investment money, it is wise to review what needs your business may have that you could provide via your capital investment line in your budget.

If you are looking to spend down your allocated budget for capital expenditures this calendar year, here are a few things to consider.

Eligible Property and Section 179

The 2019 deduction limit for Section 179 spending is $1 million, with the spending cap on equipment purchases at $2.5 million. While the Section 179 tax code can benefit any business, it has gained popularity in the small business sector. If you have a small or medium-sized business, writing off equipment purchases using this tax code could make a major impact on your company’s bottom line.

Eligible equipment purchases include tangible items, like a vehicle, machine, or even farm livestock. However, you can also write off eligible software for your company, as long as it is not custom to your business. Eligible purchases of software must be “off-the-shelf”, which means the software you purchase and write off is also available to the public.
