Commercial Roofing Tax Deduction
Good News!
Qualified taxpayers can immediately expense 100% of the cost of commercial roof improvements, including re-roofing in 2018, rather than depreciating over 39 years.
Section 179
The newly expanded Section 179 of the tax code offers a rare opportunity for San Francisco Bay Area commercial property owners to improve their buildings and fully deduct the cost this year.
Increased Deduction
Section 179 also increases the maximum amount that may be immediately deducted from $500,000 to $1 million and increases the phase-out threshold from $2 million to $2.5 million. These new limits may be effective for qualifying property beginning after December 31, 2017 and will be adjusted for inflation following 2018.
Act Now
It is important to note that all roof improvements must be installed before January 1, 2019 to qualify for a deduction in 2018. For more information, please contact Wedge Roofing for commercial roofing services in Marin County, San Francisco, Sonoma County and Napa.
