Maximize Your 2025 Tax Savings with Section 179 — Invest in Your Drilling Fleet Before Year-End

Section 179

As the year comes to a close, many businesses are looking for smart ways to reduce their taxable income while setting themselves up for success in the new year. One of the best ways to accomplish both is by taking advantage of Section 179 of the U.S. tax code.

This powerful tax incentive allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment, like a new WORD Rock Drills attachment, from their taxable income for the year the equipment is placed into service. That means you can upgrade your equipment fleet now and reap the tax benefits this year.


What is Section 179?

Section 179 was designed to encourage businesses to invest in themselves by purchasing the equipment and technology they need to grow. Instead of depreciating the cost of equipment over several years, Section 179 lets you deduct the full cost in the year of purchase, up to the annual limit set by the IRS.

For 2025, the Section 179 deduction limit is $1,220,000, with a spending cap of $3,050,000. This makes it a valuable tool for contractors, utility companies, and drilling professionals looking to invest in productivity-boosting equipment before the end of the tax year.
