Important Company Year-end Tax Deductions

Are you aware that your company may qualify to take advantage of some incredible tax deductions this year?

Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment 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 US Government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves. DoorPack Software and computer equipment both qualify for the Section 179 Deductions. For additional detailed information review this website and consult your accountant. www.section179.org

Professional Door Dealer Magazine recently provided an article titled ‘Choosing the Right Software for your Garage Door Business’ written by Don Harrison senior partner at Fireline Systems. In the article Don points out that the software you use should help you to “keep your overhead low as the economy starts to pick up”. Don also points out some facts about door dealers who are using software designed for their business indicating  that “many garage door dealers have reported a 15 to 20 percent overall increase in office and field productivity”.  This is a good read for any dealer considering software upgrades for their operation.
