SAVE 30%: Tax Relief Act Calls for 100% Capital Expensing in 2011

The new Federal tax law includes virtually unrestricted 100% capital expensing for 2011.  A machine purchased would have to be installed on or before 12-31-11.  This brings a significant bottom line benefit to any company who can take advantage.  This opportunity is unprecedented.  Here is the math.

Assumptions:

1.            A machine cost is $100,000.

2.            Corporate tax rate is 35%.

3.            We will compare the tax implications of 100% first year to straight line and double declining balance depreciation.  Normal machine depreciable life is 7 years.  For our examples we will assume no salvage value at the end of term.

A.            Straight line depreciation -  1/7 of $100,000 = $14,285.71

B.             Double declining balance depreciation – 2/7 of $100,000 = $28,571.43 (first year only)

C.            100% write off provision = $100,000 first year expense.

100% Depreciation vs. Straight Line:

2011 expense would be $100,000 vs. $14,285.71.  That is an extra expense of $85,714.29.  At a tax rate of 35%, that means there is an inherent cost benefit of $30,000 or 30%.  That has the same result as a 30% price cut on the new machine.

100% Depreciation vs. Double Declining Balance:

2011 expense would be $100,000 vs. $28,571.43.  That is an extra expense of $71,482.57. At a tax rate of 35%, that means there is an inherent cost benefit of $25,018.90 or 25%.  That has the same result as a 25% price cut on the new machine.

U.S. manufacturers have needed this type of maximum investment incentive to better compete in the unfair trade conditions of our global competitive marketplace.  It is imperative that every company plan on how to best utilize this one time investment incentive.  As it stands now, this is just for 2011.
