Section 179: Tax Incentives for Business Equipment Purchases

As the end of the year approaches, many business owners are looking for smart ways to manage their tax burdens while investing in their company’s future. For professionals in the sign, graphics and garment industries, Grimco’s wide range of equipment solutions offers the perfect opportunity to benefit from Section 179 tax savings while upgrading your business capabilities. From grand format printers to screen printing equipment and everything in between, we’re here to help you maximize your return on investment (ROI).

Why Section 179 Matters

Section 179 of the U.S. tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and software purchased or financed during the tax year. This means you can lower your taxable income significantly by investing in the tools your business needs. Here are some key benefits: 

1. Generous Monetary Limits with Section 179

As of 2024, the Section 179 deduction limit is $1,220,000, with a spending cap of $3,050,000. This means most of the equipment you buy from Grimco—whether it’s an HP Latex printer, an Epson SureColor printer, or a ROQ YOU screen print machine, and every accessory piece of equipment in between—will likely qualify for full deduction. Investing in larger, high-cost equipment becomes more manageable when you can deduct the full cost in the year of purchase. 

2. Section 179 Gives Bonus Depreciation for Extra Savings

If your equipment purchases exceed the Section 179 spending cap, you can still take advantage of bonus depreciation. For 2024, this allows you to deduct an additional 60% of the equipment cost, further reducing your tax liability. This is especially useful for customers purchasing entire workflows, including printers, heat presses, laminators, routers, and other accessory equipment. 

3. Save Real Money on Your Bottom Line with Section 179

By leveraging these tax incentives, you can effectively reduce the cost of your equipment investment. For example, an $80,000+ flatbed printer could cost much less after factoring in Section 179 deductions and bonus depreciation. This means more cash in your pocket to reinvest in your business, hire staff, or expand your operations.
