Q:
What
purchase options are available to use for Accu-Copy Products &
Services?
A:
Accu-copy accepts credit cards, cash, checks, money orders, and
lease arrangements (described below).
Lease arrangements
are available thru Accu-Copy for those that
qualify. These leases are available in Fair Market Value (FMV)
and $1 Dollar Buy-out types.
A
FMV lease is a true lease. This means that at the end of the lease, you can purchase the
equipment from the leasing company for the Fair Market Value of
the equipment at the time the lease expires.
A
Dollar Buy-out lease means that at the end of the lease period,
you pay the leasing company $1.00 US, and you will own the
equipment leased. This option costs a little more than the
FMV lease, but you actually own the equipment at the end of the
lease.
About leasing....
Please
Note: The information below is intended to explain the tax
benefits of leasing. Please consult your tax professional to
determine the best structure for your organization.
Under
IRS Section 179, equipment purchases, up to the amount shown
below, can be expensed, (deducted from taxable income) if
installed before December 3. Finance leases, ($1.00 buyout),
qualify for this deduction in the year of their inception. Any
excess above the expensed amount can be depreciated over 5 to 7
years depending on the equipment type.
The maximum amount of asset cost that can be expensed by year is:
-
$20,000 for 2000
-
$24,000 for 2001 and 2002
-
$25,000 for 2003 and later
For example, if you purchase or lease a piece of equipment for
$22,000 and install it in 2000, you are eligible to take a $20,000
tax deduction in 2000. The remaining $2,000 can be
depreciated over the life of the asset.
