How the Big Beautiful Bill impacts equipment financing
The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), signed into law on July 4, 2025, significantly impacts equipment financing by enhancing tax incentives like immediate expensing, 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying assets, and increased Section 179 deductions. These changes make it more financially attractive for businesses to finance or lease equipment by allowing for larger, upfront deductions, thereby reducing the overall cost of ownership and improving after-tax cash flow. The OBBB also includes restored EBITDA and improved interest expense deductions, making equipment acquisition a more powerful tool for business growth.
Key Provisions for Equipment Financing:
Bonus Depreciation: The OBBB restores 100% bonus depreciation for tangible, depreciable business assets with a recovery period of 20 years or less. This allows businesses to immediately deduct the full cost of qualified equipment.
Section 179 Deduction: The maximum Section 179 deduction has been increased, allowing businesses to deduct a larger portion of the cost of qualifying equipment in the year it is purchased.
Restored EBITDA: The bill reinstates EBITDA for tax years starting in 2025, which helps in the financial analysis and decision-making for equipment financing.
Improved Interest Expense Deductions: The OBBB allows for greater deductibility of interest expenses on financed purchases, making equipment financing or leasing a more rewarding financial strategy.
Impact on Businesses:
Increased Cash Flow: Businesses can lower their near-term tax burden by expensing more costs upfront, which improves after-tax cash flow and preserves capital for other investments.
Strategic Investment: The enhanced tax incentives make financing or leasing more attractive, encouraging businesses to invest in new and productive equipment to stay competitive.
Reduced Cost of Ownership: The combination of expensing, bonus depreciation, and improved interest deductions effectively lowers the total cost of owning equipment, providing a significant financial advantage.
