Consider this: The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act offers business owners a new way to recover costs on projects including roofing projects as long as it’s on a qualifying project.

What is a Qualifying Project?

A depreciable tangible personal property purchased to use to conduct business counts as a qualifying project. The new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act lets businesses avoid devaluation on capital investments with expected lifespans of 20 years or less. So, while some roofs may last longer that 20 years, Everyone knows the lifespan of an asphalt shingle roof is considered 20 years.

Plus, the maximum investment is $2.5 million!

The new tax law includes business improvements, if you can believe it. Imagine deducting the cost of a roof all in one single year! The brand new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is expected to extend through 2025, so there’s no need to rush. Remember, we’re hard money lenders, we’re not tax experts. So, check with your CPA to make sure you do everything needed to take advantage of this opportunity!
