Section 179 is built for businesses like yours. In Middle and West Tennessee and North Mississippi, businesses are seizing new opportunities to invest in their future. Thompson Machinery is at the heart of this momentum, providing the equipment and support local companies need to thrive. With expanded tax incentives available for 2025, including enhanced Section 179 deductions and bonus depreciation, now is the perfect time to upgrade your fleet or add new machines. These incentives make it easier than ever to reinvest in your business, manage cash flow, and stay competitive in a fast-changing market. Thompson Machinery is ready to help you navigate these benefits and find the right solutions for your operation. Due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), business owners across Middle and West Tennessee and North Mississippi can now make equipment upgrades with greater confidence. Now, businesses may expense the total cost of qualifying new or previously owned machines, opening the door for faster modernization of your fleet and more flexibility in your financial planning. Additionally, the expanded bonus depreciation rules mean that your ability to claim these deductions isn’t tied to your company’s income level. Regardless of whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, this incentive helps you maximize your investment and maintain a healthy cash flow, all while positioning your business for long-term success. Section 179 continues to offer valuable options for local businesses looking to maximize their tax savings. For purchases made in 2025, you can deduct up to $1.25 million on qualifying equipment, with the deduction beginning to phase out once total purchases exceed $3.13 million. There’s no better moment to take advantage of this opportunity. With limited-time financing offers on select equipment and the possibility of significant tax savings, investing in new machinery now can set your business up for a strong year ahead. Reach out to Thompson Machinery to explore your options and make the most of these opportunities before they’re gone. Visit TMCat.com/taxsavings for more information, and give your tax advisor a call today!
