For our U.S. customers, The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 can help businesses save money on equipment purchases. First, the Fifty Percent Bonus Depreciation allows businesses an extra one-year boost in how much they can deduct on test equipment that would normally depreciate over time. For example, under the old law, a new $100,000 spectrum analyzer could only provide a 2008 depreciation deduction of 14 percent of its costs, or $14,000. Under the new law, first-year depreciation can be $57,000 - 50 percent of the $100,000 machine cost ($50,000) plus 14 percent regular depreciation on the remaining $50,000 property basis, or $7,000.

That means the new law creates a 43 percent greater tax deduction for a new 2009 test equipment purchase using a $1.00 buyout or Conditional Sales Agreement type of lease. *

Expensing for Small Business -The increased Section 179 Expensing for Small Business more than doubles the amount that small businesses can write off for new or refurbished test equipment purchased during 2008, from $128,000 to $250,000. Additionally, the new law significantly increases the amount that can be purchased during the year and still receive the full benefits of the Section 179 expensing option - from the previous cap of $510,000 to $800,000.

* Always check with your certified tax professional for current, accurate advice on any tax credits or deductions.
