Press Release Body: In a recent Modern Materials Handling -- Logistics Management column, Corinne Kator noted that, "Companies in the right situation can enjoy significant tax benefits for buying materials handling equipment this year; she suggests, "If the shaky economy has you putting the brakes on plans to buy new equipment this year, you may want to put those plans back in motion. Investing in capital equipment before the end of 2008 could result in significant tax benefits thanks to the Economic Stimulus Act that Congress passed earlier this year. In addition to the individual tax refunds we've heard so much about, the stimulus package also includes two less-publicized provisions that offer businesses increased tax deductions on purchases they make before the end of the year."
The article continues, "The details of the two provisions are tricky, but the bottom line, says Michael Cecere, a CPA with the Massachusetts accounting firm Gray, Gray & Gray, is this: \"If you're thinking about making a large expenditure, 2008 is a good year to do it.\" Cecere offers the hypothetical example of a company that buys and installs $500,000 of assets this year and writes off nearly 80% of the purchase at tax time. In another example, a larger company only qualifies to take advantage of one of the two tax benefits but is still able to deduct 57% of the cost of its purchases."
According to Rich Hite, President of QC Software (www.qcsoftware.com), a leading warehouse control system software firm based in Cincinnati, OH, suggests that Tier 1 distributors should take advantage of the 2008 Economic Stimulus Act offers tax deductions on equipment purchases, including software.
