Taking Advantage of the Section 179 Tax Deduction for New Equipment

If you’ve been putting off replacing unreliable or inefficient equipment, now may be a better time than you think to invest in your business and take advantage of a game-changing tax benefit.

When budgets are tight, it can be tempting to cover tray top ware with plastic film. It’s inexpensive and accessible, but does it truly address all the reasons ware needs to be covered? The concept of disposable, drink-through coffee lids came into its own when a patent was filed for a “tearable” coffee lid in 1967. At the time, convenience stores had entered onto the scene, and Americans were drinking their coffee while on the go—and creating lots of coffee stains while they were at it. Designs have evolved and uses have expanded since 1967, but the primary purpose is the same: reduce the risk of spills.Disposable lids and plastic film can both reduce the risk of spills during delivery, reduce the risk of cross-contamination of tray top ware and its contents, and help keep hot food or beverages hot and cold items cold. That’s where their similarities end. Here’s a quick comparison of Lid vs. Film:
