The recently passed *One Big Beautiful Bill Act* (OBBBA) brings welcome news for businesses in construction, forestry and other equipment-heavy industries. With key updates to federal tax policy, financing or leasing equipment became much more financially rewarding.*

Here’s a quick breakdown of the benefits:

- **100% Bonus Depreciation Restored**  
  Businesses can now fully expense qualifying equipment purchases made after Jan. 19, 2025, with no phase-down or waiting. That means a new machine can lower your taxable income right away.
- **Section 179 Cap Increased**  
  The expensing limit has jumped to **$2.5 million**, with a higher phase-out threshold of $4 million. This is especially helpful for small and mid-sized businesses looking to expand or upgrade their fleet.
- **Improved Interest Expense Deduction**  
  By switching back to an **EBITDA-based** calculation, the OBBBA allows businesses to deduct more interest on financed purchases, resulting in more substantial cash flow and a lower total cost of ownership.

Together, these changes create a powerful incentive to invest in the equipment your operation needs to stay productive, competitive and safe on the jobsite.

**Every business is different. Talk to your CPA or tax advisor to maximize these new incentives for your business.*
