Encourage Expansion in Tough Times

Tell your businesses there's a good reason for companies to expand in 2008 — they can get more back from Uncle Sam. The Economic Stimulus Act offers two incentives to promote business investment:

• 50% Depreciation – Depreciate 50% of equipment purchased in 2008.
• $250,000 Expensing – Expense up to $250,000 in equipment and fixtures. That's up from $128,000. 

Everyone's talking about the tax rebate, but these business deductions are flying under the radar. They're available for only one year — 2008. [see IRS explanation]
