The newly enacted Big Beautiful Bill delivers major tax advantages for small businesses and real estate investors—especially those investing in equipment, technology, and commercial property improvements.

One of the most impactful updates?

Permanent 100% Bonus Depreciation on Most Business Property

The bill permanently reinstates and extends 100% bonus depreciation for property placed in service after January 19, 2025, as long as the asset has a recovery period of 20 years or less.

That means when your business purchases qualifying equipment—whether it’s machinery, devices, vehicles, or improvements—you can immediately deduct 100% of the cost in the same tax year.

No waiting. No multiyear depreciation schedule.

Even better:

✔ You can finance the equipment
✔ You can put the purchase on a credit card
✔ You still deduct the full amount—as long as it’s used for business purposes.

What Types of Assets Qualify?

Eligible property includes:

Machinery, tools, and manufacturing equipment

Office technology, furniture, and computers

Off-the-shelf software

15-year land improvements (paving, lighting, fencing, irrigation)

Qualified Improvement Property (QIP) — interior improvements to commercial buildings

What’s Not Eligible

Land

Building structures

Inventory

Do Ricoh Copiers & Printers Qualify?

Yes—based on their IRS classification.

Most Ricoh copier and printer devices are considered 5-year MACRS property, which places them within the qualifying asset category for 100% bonus depreciation.

This means businesses purchasing a new copier or multi-function device could fully expense the equipment the year it’s put into service instead of depreciating over time.

Why Business Owners Should Act Quickly

While Section 179 has historically provided accelerated expensing opportunities, bonus depreciation under the Big Beautiful Bill provides an even stronger incentive—with no guarantee future administrations will maintain it.

If you’re already planning tech upgrades—cybersecurity tools, cloud systems, copiers, networking hardware, or workflow software—strategic timing could translate to:

Lower taxable income

Higher first-year profit retention

Reduced cost of capital

Faster ROI on infrastructure investments
