2025 Equipment Tax Breaks: What They Mean for Your Business
New Tax Rules, New Opportunities for Growth
If you’ve been considering upgrading your business equipment, 2025 is the year to act. The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers sweeping federal tax reforms that make acquiring new or used equipment more cost-effective, especially when you lease through Hansel Leasing.
From 100% bonus depreciation to Section 179 expensing and enhanced interest deductions, this legislation offers significant savings that can strengthen your bottom line while helping you stay competitive.
Why the 2025 Tax Law Matters for Businesses That Lease
This isn’t just good news for buyers, it’s a game-changer for businesses that choose to lease or finance their equipment.
Under the new rules:
Bonus depreciation is now permanent: You can deduct 100% of the cost of eligible leased or financed equipment the year it's put into use even if you structure it through a finance lease.
Section 179 expensing thresholds have increased: Small businesses can immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying assets.
Interest deduction is now EBITDA-based: Giving you more breathing room when financing large-scale purchases or upgrades.
As Leigh Lytle, President of the Equipment Leasing and Finance Association (ELFA), explains:
“Making [these deductions] permanent provides the certainty our industry needs to continue helping businesses acquire equipment that powers their growth.”Agtonomy is an agricultural technology provider focused on building autonomous and semi-autonomous farming machinery. By partnering with leading OEMs like Kubota and Bobcat, Agtonomy develops self-driving tractors and AI-integrated equipment designed to handle time-consuming tasks like spraying, tilling, and fertilizing, all with minimal human intervention.
