Use Section 179 to Cut Taxes and Build Wealth in 2025

June 30, 20253 min read

whatis 179?

As we reach the midpoint of 2025, it’s the ideal time to pause and reflect on how your business is performing — and more importantly, how your financial decisions today can impact your year-end tax bill and long-term wealth strategy.

One powerful tool that often goes overlooked is the Section 179 deduction — a provision in the IRS tax code that allows you to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying business equipment or software, rather than depreciating it over several years.

If you’re serious about building tax-free wealth using smart strategies, Section 179 should be on your radar now, not in December when it’s too late to plan.

TAX FREE WEALTH

What Is Section 179?

What Is Section 179?

Section 179 allows businesses to deduct up to $1,220,000 (2025 limit) of the cost of qualifying equipment or software purchased or financed during the year. If you acquire more than $3,050,000 in assets, the deduction starts to phase out.

This means if your business buys a vehicle, machinery, computers, or even off-the-shelf software for business use, you can deduct the entire cost this year rather than spreading it out over time.


🕒 Why July Is the Best Time to Act

Many business owners wait until Q4 to look at tax-saving strategies. By then, you're scrambling. Instead, July is perfect for:

  • Evaluating taxable income year-to-date

  • Forecasting full-year revenue

  • Planning equipment or tech upgrades while vendors have inventory

  • Spreading cash flow via financing (yes, Section 179 still applies!)


💼 How This Builds Wealth (Not Just Cuts Taxes)

Using Section 179 isn’t just about saving taxes — it’s a wealth-building strategy:

  • Preserve Cash Flow: Finance the asset, deduct the full amount now, and pay over time.

  • Invest in Growth: Upgrade tools and systems to increase efficiency and revenue.

  • Pair with Bonus Depreciation: After using your Section 179 limit, bonus depreciation (60% in 2025) kicks in on remaining eligible purchases.

  • Free Up More Capital to fund other tax-free wealth strategies (like the Kai-Zen strategy or Indexed Universal Life).


Don’t wait until December to think about tax deductions. June is your window to intentionally align your business decisions with your financial goals.

Understanding the Times and the Seasons

This message emphasizes the biblical principle that God orchestrates both natural seasons and spiritual seasons in our lives, and we are called to discern which season we are in. It draws from scripture like Ecclesiastes 3:1 (“to everything there is a season”) and 1 Chronicles 12:32 (the sons of Issachar who understood their times) to remind believers that awareness of our spiritual season empowers us to act with clarity and purpose.

The core call to action is twofold: first, embrace seasons of growth and preparation by sowing diligently; second, recognize when it's time to harvest or act—by seizing opportunities or advancing in your divine purpose. It’s a powerful reminder that timing matters: aligning our decisions and deeds with God’s ordained times positions us to walk in blessing rather than miss out on His plans.
