Business Inventives in the 2008 Economic Stimulus Bill The Economic Stimulus Bill recently signed by President Bush has received a lot of publicity as it related to personal rebates. Business owners, however, should be aware that capital equipment purchases are also favorably impacted by this bill. Businesses who wish to expense such purchases in 2008 under Section 179 may do so with the limit being raised from $128,000 to $250,000.
