Turn 2025 Equipment Purchases into Tax Savings

Thanks to the recently approved One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB), your investment in Novum Wall, Pole Base, Redi-Rock, and Rosetta Hardscapes production equipment could qualify for Section 179 expensing and 100% bonus depreciation, two powerful incentives designed to help your business write off equipment purchases faster.

The OBBB preserves Section 179 expensing and 100% bonus depreciation initially included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, allowing businesses to potentially deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year it's placed in service.

This means that now is a great time to purchase production equipment to supercharge your return on investment while expanding your product suite and your market reach.

What are Section 179 Expensing and 100% Bonus Depreciation?

As they relate to Aster Brands production equipment like forms, molds, inserts, etc., Section 179 expensing and 100% bonus depreciation accomplish the same thing: Aster Brands producers can deduct from their income (for tax purposes) the full amount of capital purchases in the year they make the purchase, instead of deducting it over multiple years (standard depreciation rules).

Don’t leave tax dollars on the table.

The tax benefits of buying new equipment for concrete production go beyond immediate deductions; they accelerate your production ROI. Contact your dedicated Business Consultant directly or call (866) 222-8400.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB)?

The One Big Beautiful Bill was signed into law on July 4, 2025, building on earlier reforms to fuel economic growth by supporting business investment, job creation, and domestic manufacturing. Here are the legislation’s highlights:

  • 100% Bonus Depreciation Extended – Businesses can immediately deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment, machinery, and capital improvements, including molds, forklifts, and production systems, rather than depreciating them over several years. This is a major cash-flow win for manufacturers expanding operations.
  • Incentives for Capital Investment – The Act raises the Section 179 deduction limit, making it easier for small and mid-size businesses to invest in new or used equipment and write off those expenses in the same year.
  • Lower Corporate Tax Rate Maintained – The flat 21% corporate tax rate remains in place, continuing to provide relief and predictability for C-Corporations.
  • Support for Domestic Manufacturing – Several provisions encourage reshoring and infrastructure-related investments, favoring companies that build, hire, and grow in the U.S.
Which business structures qualify for OBBB tax benefits?

Most business types qualify for the tax benefits included in the OBBB. These entities include:

C-Corporations

  • Flat 21% corporate tax rate continues under the updated TCJA.
  • Can fully benefit from 100% bonus depreciation and Section 179 expensing.
  • Ideal for companies reinvesting heavily in capital equipment or facilities.

S-Corporations, LLCs, Partnerships (Pass-Through Entities)

  • Can also claim Section 179 expensing and 100% bonus depreciation for qualified business equipment purchases.
  • Helps reduce personal tax burden while reinvesting in business growth.

Sole Proprietorships

  • Also eligible for Section 179 expensing and 100% bonus depreciation.
  • Simplified tax structure makes these incentives especially valuable for small producers and startups.
When should I order forms, molds, or other Aster Brands equipment to qualify for OBBB tax benefits?

Your equipment must be placed in service before year-end to qualify for the OBBB manufacturing equipment tax deductions this tax year. We recommend contacting your Business Consultant immediately to secure your order. While many forms and molds are ready for shipment now, high demand from producers aiming to maximize tax savings may cause longer lead times. Ordering early helps ensure your equipment arrives and is operational to qualify for the current year’s tax benefits.
