Why Now is the Best Time to Buy a Jet
A pivotal 2025 tax bill reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for aircraft used in business, delivering major incentives for corporate jet buyers. Under the revised code, eligible purchasers can deduct the entire cost of the aircraft in the first year, dramatically reducing taxable income.
Here’s how it works:
• A company acquiring a $10 million jet can deduct the full amount immediately.
• In a 40% tax bracket, that deduction translates to $4 million in tax savings.
• Effectively, the jet’s net cost drops to $6 million (assuming the business has sufficient income to absorb the deduction).
This accelerated depreciation strategy not only enhances cash flow but also makes aircraft acquisition more financially viable for companies prioritizing speed, flexibility, and operational control.
