CARES Act 2020 – Install a New System and Save with a Tax Deduction
The CARES (Coronavirus Act, Relief and Economic Security) Act allows companies to take a tax deduction* year one when they install and put a qualifying life safety system in service.
In the past, the depreciation had to be taken over a thirty-nine (39) year period. Taking the tax benefit now can reduce your overall cost of equipment and installation.
BENEFITS OF CARES ACT
| Benefit 1: | Take 100% depreciation year 1 for full equipment & installation cost |
| Benefit 2: | There is no cap to the cost of the equipment and labor |
| Benefit 3: | Deduction can be taken all the way back to the beginning of 2018 |
