If you’re a business owner investing in equipment, you’ve probably heard the term “100% bonus depreciation” tossed around. But what does it mean—and how can it help your business thrive this year?
In this post, we’ll break it down in plain terms and explore how this accelerated depreciation method may create powerful incentives to invest in equipment, all while making sure you speak with a tax professional before making any big moves.

What is Bonus Depreciation?
Bonus depreciation allows businesses to deduct a significant portion—or in some cases, the full cost—of qualifying assets in the year they’re placed into service.
Historically, businesses had to deduct asset costs gradually over several years. But with bonus depreciation, you may be able to accelerate that deduction to maximize potential tax benefits up front.
The 100% Bonus Depreciation Window
As of January 19, 2025, under the newly enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act, businesses can once again deduct 100% of the cost of eligible new or used equipment in the year it’s placed into service. This revised law eliminates the previously scheduled phase-down, making the benefit permanent going forward.*
What Kind of Equipment Qualifies?
Generally speaking, bonus depreciation applies to tangible, depreciable business assets with a useful life of 20 years or less. This includes:
- Heavy construction equipment
- Commercial trucks
- CNC machines and fabrication tools
- Business-use vehicles
- Office technology and more
Used equipment may qualify too—as long as it’s “new to you” and meets IRS guidelines.
How Equipment Financing Ties Into This
