Don't Let U.S. Tax Incentives Go Untapped

Offset the cost of your next equipment purchase while you still can!

93% of manufacturers view quality as a strategic priority for manufacturing success.

Leveraging applicable tax benefits — like 100% bonus depreciation and Section 179 — is a smart way to turn precision into savings.

Why Manufacturers Are Acting on These Tax Incentives Now

Four ways the current tax code makes it easier to invest in the equipment your quality program needs.

  • Deduct the Full Cost This Year

    100% Bonus Depreciation lets you immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying metrology equipment in the year it's placed in service — no multi-year depreciation schedule required.

  • Expense Up to $2.56M Immediately

    Section 179 allows you to immediately expense up to approximately $2.56 million in qualifying equipment and business property, as long as you have sufficient taxable income to apply it against.

  • Metrology Investments May Qualify as R&D

    If your equipment supports qualifying U.S. research and development activities, you may be able to fully deduct those costs in the year incurred — no multi-year amortization.

Financing Your Equipment? You're Still Covered

The business interest deduction applies too!

If you're financing this purchase rather than paying upfront, the current EBITDA-based limitation generally allows you to deduct business interest expense up to 30% of adjusted taxable income (ATI) — so favorable tax treatment isn't limited to cash purchases.

Combined with bonus depreciation and Section 179, most equipment investments have more than one path to meaningful savings.

Share This With Your Finance Team

A valuable resource to bring into your next budget or purchasing conversation.

Making the case for a new equipment purchase often means looping in finance, procurement, or leadership. This one-page summary covers all four incentives — bonus depreciation, Section 179, R&D expensing, and the business interest deduction — with real numbers you can use in that conversation.
