Cool Tool of the Week: Computer Small Business Deduction

By , About.com Guide   October 18, 2009

Follow me on:

Did you know that if your business buys a computer between Jan. 27, 2009 and Feb. 1, 2011, you can deduct 100 per cent of a computer purchase that year, rather than simply deducting the amount that the computer has depreciated that year?

That's a pretty sweet small business deduction.

So far, though, like the proverbial tree falling in the forest, it's a small business deduction that's made no sound and had little effect, according to CBC News. (See Computer tax break yet to make an impact.)

With Windows 7 about to be released, it's a good small business deduction to know about - just in case you decide to upgrade your whole computer system rather than just its operating system.
