2. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology • Seems like every year there are significant changes to the Section 179 Tax Deduction regarding capital equipment purchase deduction limits, shifting depreciation rates and retroactive measures. The good news is this year doesn’t look a whole lot different than 2020.

3. Sensible Solutions for Refurbished Radiology Maximize the Benefits of the New Tax Incentives • In 2021 the deduction limit has gone up slightly from $1,040,000 to $1,050,000. If your equipment is purchased and in service by the end of the day on December 31, 2021, you will qualify to deduct the full amount. • Regarding the spending cap: it, too, has risen slightly from $2.59 million to $2.62 million. Once the spending cap is reached, your deduction will begin to decrease dollar- for-dollar. Bonus depreciation is also available to those who purchase over $2,620,000 in qualifying equipment.

This is a great perk for businesses that will be purchasing above the spending cap in 2021. The best news of all is you can take these deductions on both new and pre-owned and refurbished equipment.

There are no guarantees what Section 179 will be in 2022.
