Looking for smart ways to lower your tax bill before year-end? The Section 179 deduction for 2025 could save your business thousands when you invest in new or upgraded copiers, printers or other office technology. But you need to act before December 31.
Whether you're replacing outdated devices or scaling operations, the Section 179 deduction allows you to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the same year it's put into use. That makes it one of the most valuable tax strategies for small and mid-sized businesses in 2025.
What Is the Section 179 Deduction in 2025?
The Section 179 deduction in 2025 is part of the IRS tax code that lets businesses write off the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment, including copiers, multifunction printers (MFPs) and related technology in the same year it's installed and operational.
Rather than depreciating the cost over several years, you can deduct the full amount in 2025, reducing your taxable income and improving year-end cash flow.
2025 Section 179 Limits:
- Deduction limit: $1,220,000
- Phase-out threshold: $3,050,000 (the deduction reduces after this amount is reached in total purchases)
- Applies to: New and used equipment (if it's new to your business)
- Deadline: Equipment must be purchased and placed in service by December 31, 2025.
What Office Equipment Qualifies for the Section 179 Deduction?
The Section 179 deduction in 2025 applies to a wide range of office and business equipment, including:
- Commercial-grade copiers
- Multifunction printers (MFPs)
- Wide-format printers
- Scanners and fax machines
- Document management hardware
- Print servers and related infrastructure
Whether you're purchasing or financing, Fraser can help you identify eligible equipment that qualifies for the full deduction and get it installed before the year-end deadline.
Why Take Advantage of the Section 179 Deduction in 2025?
Upgrading your office technology doesn't just improve productivity. Thanks to the Section 179 deduction, it can also lead to significant tax savings this year.
Benefits include:
- Immediate tax savings on essential equipment
- Reduced total cost of ownership
- Upgraded features like enhanced print security, cloud integration and lower operating costs
- Flexible financing options that still qualify for the deduction
Example: How Much Could You Save?
If you invest $15,000 in a new multifunction copier in 2025, and you qualify for the Section 179 deduction,you could potentially deduct the entire $15,000. At a 24% tax rate, that's $3,600 in tax savings, bringing your actual cost down to just $11,400.
Don't Wait: Section 179 Deduction Ends December 31, 2025
To qualify for the Section 179 deduction in 2025, the IRS requires that your equipment be:
- Purchased or financed during the calendar year
- Installed and in use no later than December 31, 2025
While waiting until December can be risky, Fraser stocks a variety of multifunction printers, copiers, wide-format printers, scanners and more to meet your needs. But holiday closings and installation backlogs can delay deployment, which means missing out on the deduction. Planning ensures you secure both the equipment you need and the tax benefit you deserve.
