Lease Stimulus Information

I'm going to re-post this for all recieved this in an email from a P4PHotel member.

Now is the perfect time to lease!


Recent legislation enables businesses to acquire equipment more affordable during 2008. This is great news for companies that want to obtain new equipment and technology to support their business goals and maintain a competitive advantage! You may be able to combine the many benefits of leasing with special 2008 tax incentives.


The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 includes provisions that enable businesses to take additional deductions for accelerated depreciation and immediate expensing of capital purchases.


What are the requirements?


  • Taxpayer must purchase the qualified property during the 2008 tax year, subject to a binding lease or purchase contract signed in 2008

  • Property must be placed in service in 2008

  • Property has MARCS recovery paid of less than 20 years

The time to lease/purchase is now!
