Full Expensing (Bonus Depreciation) Increased to 100% for 2011

Legislation passed in late 2010 provides for the full expensing of new property eligible for bonus depreciation - which includes exhibits - placed in service between September 9, 2010 and December 31, 2011.

Full expensing (bonus depreciation) allows you to write off the full purchase amount this year, as opposed to a percentage over multiple years. While the total amount of your tax savings will generally be the same, utilizing bonus depreciation gives you more working capital up front. That working capital can be used to reinvest in areas of your company that drive business - like marketing, lead generation, staffing and more. Bonus depreciation in 2012 will be reduced to 50%.

No Limit to Bonus Depreciation!
You can depreciate the full amount of all qualifying purchases this year no matter their cost individually or in aggregate.

It's Easier to 'Expense' Purchases
For many companies with a budget in place, requests for capital expenditures can be cumbersome and time consuming. With new legislation, these items can be fully written off in 2011 and don't need to be depreciated.
