Section 179 for 2023 at a Glance

Barry Material Handling News, New Forklifts, Terminal Tractors , , , ,

What is the Section 179 Deduction

Most people think the Section 179 deduction is some mysterious or complicated tax code. It really isn’t, as you will see below.

Essentially, Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year. That means that if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the FULL PURCHASE PRICE from your gross income. It’s an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves.

How Section 179 works:

In years past, when your business bought qualifying equipment like a forklift, terminal tractor or container handler, (see our line-up) it typically wrote it off a little at a time through depreciation. In other words, if your company spends $50,000 on a machine, it gets to write off (say) $10,000 a year for five years (these numbers are only meant to give you an example).

Now, while it’s true that this is better than no write-off at all, most business owners would really prefer to write off the entire equipment purchase price for the year they buy it.

And that’s exactly what Section 179 does – it allows your business to write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment for the current tax year.

This has made a big difference for many companies (and the economy in general.) Businesses have used Section 179 to purchase needed equipment right now, instead of waiting. For most small businesses, the entire cost of qualifying equipment can be written-off on the 2023 tax return (up to $1,160,000). See example below.

Limits of Section 179

Section 179 does come with limits – there are caps to the total amount written off ($1,160,000 for ), and limits to the total amount of the equipment purchased ($2,890,000 in ). The deduction begins to phase out on a dollar-for-dollar basis after $2,890,000 is spent by a given business (thus, the entire deduction goes away once $4,050,000 in purchases is reached), so this makes it a true small and medium-sized business deduction.

Who Qualifies for Section 179?

All businesses that purchase, finance, and/or lease new or used business equipment during tax year 2023 should qualify for the Section 179 Deduction (assuming they spend less than $4,050,000).

Most tangible goods used by American businesses, including “off-the-shelf” software and business-use vehicles (restrictions apply) qualify for the Section 179 Deduction.

For basic guidelines on what property is covered under the Section 179 tax code, please refer to this list of qualifying equipment. Also, to qualify for the Section 179 Deduction, the equipment and/or software purchased or financed must be placed into service between January 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023.

For 2023, $1,160,000 of assets can be expensed; that amount phases out dollar for dollar when $2,890,000 of qualified assets are placed in service.

What’s the difference between Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation?

Bonus depreciation is offered some years, and some years it isn’t. Right now in 2023, it’s being offered at 80%.

The most important difference is both new and used equipment qualify for the Section 179 Deduction (as long as the used equipment is “new to you”), while Bonus Depreciation has only covered new equipment only until the most recent tax law passed. In a switch from recent years, the bonus depreciation now includes used equipment.

Bonus Depreciation is useful to very large businesses spending more than the Section 179 Spending Cap (currently $2,890,000) on new capital equipment. Also, businesses with a net loss are still qualified to deduct some of the cost of new equipment and carry-forward the loss.

When applying these provisions, Section 179 is generally taken first, followed by Bonus Depreciation – unless the business had no taxable profit, because the unprofitable business is allowed to carry the loss forward to future years.

Section 179’s

The equipment, vehicle(s), and/or software must be used for business purposes more than 50% of the time to qualify for the Section 179 Deduction. Simply multiply the cost of the equipment, vehicle(s), and/or software by the percentage of business-use to arrive at the monetary amount eligible for Section 179.

To take advantage of Section 179 for 2023, equipment must be in service by year’s end, so now is the time to act. Contact us at 800-322-5438 for equipment pricing and calculate your tax savings for 2023.

CORE, analogous to the Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP), is a project intended to encourage California companies to purchase or lease currently commercialized zero-emission off-road freight equipment by providing a streamlined voucher process to offset the higher cost of such technologies.

CORE voucher amounts are based on the incremental cost difference between traditional equipment and new zero-emission alternatives. Additional funding is available for charging infrastructure, equipment deployed in pollution overburdened communities (DACs), and equipment purchased by small businesses.

How You Can Participate in CORE

Criteria for Eligibility:

Any off-road equipment Purchaser in California is eligible. If you want to participate, the purchased equipment must be domiciled and operated for at least three years in California after the voucher redemption date. Equipment Purchasers must also submit activity reports for three years. 

The fleet size does not affect voucher amounts, and equipment Purchasers are not limited to the number of vouchers they can apply for. 

Steps for Participating in CORE:

  1. Select equipment that suits your needs from the Eligible Equipment Catalog.
  2. Contact a CORE-approved Dealer. The Dealer will submit the voucher request on your behalf.
  3. Provide the dealer with equipment domicile location, small business designation, and other information.
  4. Purchase your CORE-discounted equipment.

Review the CORE Implementation Manual for additional information.

Eligible Equipment

CLARK SE20T, 4,000lb. 3-Wheel Electric Forklift

CLARK continues to drive the material handling industry forward by designing and developing lift truck solutions for just about every situation. Our new S-SERIES Three-Wheel Electric lift truck extends our legacy with a SMART – STRONG – SAFE lift truck that meets the challenging and changing needs of our customers. Once you’ve tried this next generation of lift truck, you’ll understand why CLARK forklifts are “Built to Last” and why our customers return to the brand time and again.

SMART

Advanced electric steering on the SE15-25T minimizes operator fatigue and increases efficiency. Powerful 36V and 48V batteries provide a higher battery output efficiency than ever before. The Zapi ACE-2 new generation of controllers allows the operator to have greater insight on life cycles. And, with 11 configurations availble, this truck is sure to fit your needs. 

STRONG

Today’s working environments demand a STRONG lift truck, and the SE15-25T provides reliable strength through several key design features. The full welded, heavy gauge frame provides a strong, stable base for the lift truck, while the all-new staggered nested I-beam upright provides the strength and reliability you count on when lifting heavy loads. With an integral side-shifting carriage, the SE15-25T retains all of its capacity to 188”.

SAFE

The ergonomically designed operator compartment promotes greater operator comfort and efficiency, as fatigued operators are more likely to make a costly mistake. The self-activating parking brake automatically engages when the operator leaves the seat, preventing the forklift from rolling forward or backward. The integrated speed-limit control when turning helps provide additional stability to the truck, and the optional rear-view camera displays crisply on the dash display, giving operators greater visibility when moving in reverse.

Features of the SE15T – SE25T 3-Wheel S-Series Electric Forklift

ADVANCED ERGONOMICS

Adjustable full-suspension seat, low step height with grab bar handle, and spacious operator compartment provide a more comfortable experience for the operator. The hood-mounted levers are perfectly positioned and ergonomically designed for ease of use. And, the adjustable steer column allows for greater flexibility for the operator.

SOLID AND VERSATILE

The staggered and nested I-Beam upright allows for a shorter right-angle stack to help reduce lost loads, and to increase strength, stability, and visibility. The SE15-25T also boasts one of the tightest turning radii in the industry for indoor and narrow aisle applications, allowing for greater flexibility in narrow aisles. Finally, the carriage and roller design helps keep forks level and reduces carriage twist, ensuring your SE15-25T will be Built to Last.

ADVANCED COMPONENTRY

The interactive Smart Dash allows operators to have greater control and understanding of the lift truck’s operation, with audible and visible warnings and password protection allowing operators to make changes directly on the dash. The SE15-25T also comes standard with three performance modes to accommodate your application: Economy, Standard, and Power mode. And, with direct integration with several pieces of optional equipment, the Smart Dash puts the control of your lift truck at your operators’ fingertips.

LOW COST OF OWNERSHIP

The fully enclosed drive, lift, and steer motors prevent dirt and debris from entering the engine, reducing downtime, and leading to lower maintenance costs and a higher ROI. The all-electric braking system has no brake pads to wear down or fluids to check or leak. The electric steering allows for less overall energy consumption, leading to longer battery life. And, the electro-mechanical parking brakes, drive motors, and drive axles can be serviced without removing the upright, allowing for quick service.
