Corporate Environments OFDealer Profile
Corporate Environments has been profiled in the January 2010 issue of the OFDealer eZine from OFDA. The article, written by Alicia Ellis, discusses what tools and techniques we are using to expand our products and business offerings to our current and future clients in a down economy.

At Corporate Environments we take a lot of pride in the work that we do and our clients completed projects. We strive to not only put our best foot forward but to also promote the dedication and investments that our clients make to improve their work environments and branding. With this in mind we would like to invite you to view some of our recent projects in the new Project Gallery Section.
Business owners who acquire equipment including machinery, computers, furniture and other tangible goods, usually prefer a substantial deduction in a single tax year, rather than a little at a time over a number of years. This accelerated deduction is known by its section in the tax code: a Section 179 deduction. The 2009 law extends the amount of qualified property that a business can expense under Section 179 to $250,000.This incentive is for equipment placed in service by December 31, 2009 and is designed for small companies, so the deduction phases out when a business purchases more than $800,000 in one year. (Companies cannot write off more than their taxable income).
The law also maintains the bonus depreciation of 50% for qualifying assets. This bonus is in addition to regular first-year depreciation.
The benefit of a Non-Tax/Capital Lease is that it can take advantage of Section 179: expense up to $250,000 if the equipment is put in use in 2009. In addition, you may depreciate any excess on the depreciation schedule for that asset. Examples of Non-Tax/Capital Leases include a $1.00 Buyout, an Equipment Finance Agreement (EFA), and a 10% Purchase Upon Termination (PUT) Lease. The sample calculation shows how taking advantage of Section 179 can significantly lower the true cost of furniture ownership from $300,000 to $202,000. (more…)
