Allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying new and used equipment or software during the tax year it was placed in service. Even though you only pay a fraction of the expense through lease payments. Instead of reducing reserves with an outright equipment purchase.
Section 179 Deduction:
A capital lease can create a significant upfront tax deduction when structured correctly.
Bonus Depreciation: In addition to the Section 179 deduction, businesses may qualify for bonus depreciation (set at 60% in 2025). Bonus depreciation can be applied after the Section 179 cap is reached.
Capital leases are treated as a purchase for accounting purposes, even though you make monthly payments. The lessee essentially finances the equipment with the intent of owning it at the end of the lease term.
Deduct Depreciation and Interest: If you do not utilize Section 179, you can still deduct the equipment's depreciation over its useful life and deduct the interest portion of your lease payments.
The best option between a Capital Lease and an Operating Lease depends on your business's overall strategy, cash flow, and tax situation.
Tax laws are complex and can change over time. Contact a tax professional to determine the best strategy for your specific business.
