Huge Tax Deductions Justify New IT Assets in 2011


Anyone buying technology can take advantage of President Obama’s legislation titled “The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010” to reduce the total cost of operations (TCO) of IT projects. If you are not using this legislation to help justify your next IT project, you’re missing an extremely powerful financial opportunity provided by the federal government. The new legislation is a multi-year program that allows 100% accelerated depreciation in 2011 then drops to 50% in 2012. The current law is very specific in that there is a 50% drop-off in after-tax savings for companies that wait to invest until 2012. Download this detailed white paper on the subject to help you explain it to your CFO, owner, accountant, or yourself why you should make that IT investment in 2011.
