Maximize your returns: 2009 tax incentives for businesses

Innovating your business is always a big win, and now it couldn't be easier to move to Xerox solutions. With our easy payment offerings — and federal tax stimulus leverage – your decision in 2009 can be even more rewarding.
Accelerating solutions = winning results
You are always looking for a way to deliver the best results and maximize your budget dollars. Not only can we help you solve your color and digital technology needs, but we can also bring you flexible payment options that meet your cash flow requirements.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 was signed into law with big advantages: it can dramatically increase depreciation, immediate expensing - or both - on any capital value of equipment acquired for your business this year.

These factors may be just one more incentive toward the value and timing of a Xerox solution for your company. By eliminating some of the growing pains, we can help your business grow.
Confidence in your decisions
These capital considerations can apply to a wide array of Xerox technology and solutions you have been waiting for - from printing and publishing, color and multifunction printers, to software and applications - all to drive business productivity and add value to your document needs.
Better bottom line
Two key provisions are available for us under this expanded federal package:
  • doubles current Section 179 expensing limits for capital investments (up to $250,000) subject to gradual reduction down to zero when total spend exceeds $800,000 to a maximum of $1,050,000.
  • 50% bonus + normal depreciation in the first year. Unlike expensing, the bonus depreciation deduction can apply to investments without regard to the $250,000 / $800,000+ limits.
Let’s walk through scenarios of how Xerox and these incentives may give more benefits and returns to your business bottom-line*:

We offer compelling payment plans and options that help you align your expense outlay with your business model.

In this day and age, it is critical that your business has the technology resources required to stay competitive. This stimulus package is only available for solutions implemented by the end of 2009; a short-term window to help make your business stronger for the long-run.
