Congress close on bonus depreciation

The Senate last month passed its version of bonus depreciation legislation, much to the satisfaction of general aviation groups. The House of Representatives passed similar legislation in June.

H.R.5297, the Small Business Lending Fund Act of 2010, contained a provision to allow bonus depreciation on equipment purchases, including general aviation aircraft, this year. Aircraft purchased before the end of this year must be placed into service by the end of next year.
