What Is Section 179?

Section 179 is part of the U.S. tax code that lets many businesses deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment in the year it goes into service, instead of spreading it over several years.

Who It Is For
Businesses using the equipment more than 50% for business: coating, fabrication, machine, gunsmith, auto and fleet shops. Personal or hobby use does not qualify.
The Key Date
Purchased and placed in service by December 31, 2026. Ordered or paid for is not enough.
The Limit
About $2.56 million for 2026, far above the cost of any oven or booth we sell.
Used In The U.S.
Equipment must be used in the United States by a U.S. business taxpayer.

What It Could Mean For You

Illustrative federal tax reduction from deducting the full cost this year. Your numbers depend on your business and tax situation.

Example Order Total 21% Rate 24% Rate 32% Rate
$2,100 LA2500B With Upgrades ~$440 ~$505 ~$670
$3,600 In-Stock LA10K6 ~$755 ~$865 ~$1,150
$5,000 LA15K7 ~$1,050 ~$1,200 ~$1,600

Common Questions

Does it have to be delivered by December 31?

Generally it must be placed in service, meaning delivered, connected and ready for use in your business. That is why the order-by dates include time for freight and hookup.

What if freight runs late?

Holiday freight can slow down. We build in a buffer, but we cannot guarantee carrier delivery dates. Ordering earlier is the safest route.

Can I get an invoice for my accountant?

Yes. Every order comes with an itemized invoice. Email sales@lightarmor.us with your order number if you need another copy.

I use it in my home garage. Does it qualify?

Only if it is used more than 50% for a business. Personal and hobby use does not qualify.

What if my business had a slow year?

The Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your business income for the year; any extra carries forward. 100% bonus depreciation, which does not have that limit, may also apply. Your tax professional can tell you which works best.

Important: Light Armor Ovens does not provide tax, legal or accounting advice. Section 179 eligibility and benefits depend on your business and tax situation. Please consult your tax professional before making a purchase decision based on tax considerations. Delivery dates are estimates and depend on carrier schedules.
