Can You Write Off Equipment Leasing on Your Taxes? 2025 Tax Tips

[DanMichaels2881]

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to get a better handle on how equipment leasing works with taxes in 2025.

Can you actually write off leased heavy equipment as a business expense? Are there specific deductions or limits I should know about?
Would love to hear how others are handling this come tax season!

Yep, you can usually write off equipment lease payments as a business expense, as long as it’s used for your construction biz. It’s considered an operating expense, so it goes under your regular deductions. Just make sure the lease isn’t structured as a purchase (those follow different rules). Always worth double-checking with your CPA!
