Tax Break for PC Power Management Ends Soon

Taking advantage of IRS rules in the last days of 2011 will cut the already quick payback period for PC power management software by up to 35%! Verdiem’s industry-leading IT energy management software, that includes PC power management, has always meant a quick return on investment, typically six to twelve months. For a company with a six month payback without considering the tax benefit, Verdiem Surveyor could instead pay for itself in less than four months – with years of savings to come.

The IRS bonus depreciation rules, enacted by Congress to stimulate the economy and encourage capital investment, allow companies to immediately deduct 100% of the cost of such payments on their 2011 tax return, instead of deducting the cost over the three year life commonly used for capitalized software. So, savings that would not otherwise be achieved until 2013 or beyond can be realized almost immediately. As always, with any such tax matter, please consult your tax advisor for more information.

So, don’t wait until 2012 to purchase PC power management software when the 100% bonus depreciation benefit expires. Talk to us about how to realize this benefit before 2011 ends.
