This bill would make a tax break for business investments permanent. It lets companies fully deduct the cost of certain qualified property right away, instead of spreading the deduction out over time. In simple terms, a business that buys eligible equipment or other covered assets could write off the full cost in the year it is placed in service. The bill also removes the current phase-down and expiration of this rule, and it makes the change apply as if it had already been part of the 2017 tax law.
- It sets the deduction rate at 100% for qualified property placed in service after September 27, 2017.
- It updates related tax rules so they match the new permanent full deduction rule and removes language tied to the old phase-out schedule.
- It also changes rules for certain plants, allowing the full deduction when they are planted or grafted, rather than using a date limit that would have expired.
- Another tax rule is adjusted so it applies to property with a recovery period of 7 years or less.
