Seizing the Opportunity: Why Now Is the Time to Invest
As 2024 draws to a close, businesses across industries—construction, agriculture, landscaping, and material handling—are looking for strategic ways to reinvest in their operations while optimizing tax savings. The right equipment not only enhances productivity and efficiency but also provides long-term financial benefits. One of the most effective tax incentives available to business owners is Section 179 of the IRS tax code, which allows companies to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the same year it is placed into service.
For businesses planning to expand their fleet, upgrade outdated machinery, or invest in attachments to increase efficiency, Section 179 presents an unmatched opportunity to save on taxes while acquiring industry-leading Bobcat equipment. With the December 31, 2024, deadline approaching, now is the perfect time to capitalize on this tax-saving advantage and reinvest in your business before the end of the fiscal year.
At Bobcat GDN, we are committed to helping businesses maximize their investments, offering a wide selection of new and used Bobcat machinery that qualifies for Section 179. Understanding how this tax incentive works, along with the best financing and leasing options, can help you make a financially sound decision that drives your business forward.
How Section 179 Benefits Bobcat Equipment Buyers
Section 179 is designed to reward businesses that invest in themselves, offering immediate financial advantages that go beyond simple tax deductions. Here’s how your business can benefit from this powerful incentive:
Immediate Tax Savings
Rather than depreciating equipment costs over several years, Section 179 allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price upfront, effectively lowering taxable income and potentially moving businesses into a more favorable tax bracket.
Improved Cash Flow
Because equipment deductions are applied in the year of purchase, businesses can retain more capital to reinvest in growth opportunities, hire additional staff, or take on larger projects.
Boosted Productivity and Efficiency
Investing in state-of-the-art Bobcat machinery allows businesses to increase efficiency, reduce downtime, and take on more demanding jobs. Whether it’s a skid-steer loader for compact worksites or a compact excavator for precision digging, the right equipment makes a measurable difference in day-to-day operations.
Budget-Friendly Financing Options
Many Bobcat GDN dealers offer financing solutions that align with Section 179 requirements, enabling businesses to acquire the equipment they need while spreading payments over time—all while still qualifying for the full tax deduction.
New and Used Equipment Qualify
Unlike some tax incentives that apply only to new equipment, Section 179 covers both new and used Bobcat machinery, offering businesses greater flexibility in upgrading their fleet within budget.
How to Qualify for Section 179 with Bobcat Equipment
To take advantage of Section 179 for 2024, businesses must meet the following requirements:
Business Use Requirement: Equipment must be used more than 50 percent for business purposes to qualify.
Placed in Service by December 31, 2024: Equipment must be purchased and put into service before the year-end deadline.
Bobcat equipment—known for its durability, reliability, and innovation—qualifies for Section 179 deductions as long as it meets these criteria.

Section 179 vs. Bonus Depreciation: What’s the Difference?
Businesses can often use both Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation to maximize tax savings. Here’s how they compare:
Section 179: Allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment up to a limit in the year it is placed into service.
Bonus Depreciation: Provides additional tax savings beyond the Section 179 limit, with deductions currently set at 80 percent for 2024.
Using these tax strategies together can be especially beneficial for larger purchases or businesses acquiring an entire fleet of equipment.
