Don’t Get Scrooged by the Tax Man This Year

Turn Year-End Budget into Real Business Value with QuoteWerks

As the calendar winds down, many businesses find themselves in the same position every year—unused budget on one side, looming tax liability on the other. The good news is that smart year-end purchases can solve both problems at once.

If you are a U.S.-based business, investing in software before December 31 may allow you to take advantage of a Section 179 deduction, potentially reducing your taxable income for the current fiscal year. Pair that opportunity with a proven sales quoting solution like QuoteWerks, and you are not just spending budget—you are investing in growth.

What Is Section 179 and Why Does It Matter?

Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows eligible businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying software in the year it is placed into service, rather than depreciating it over time. In simple terms, that means software purchased and implemented before year-end may reduce your tax liability now, not later.

Of course, tax rules vary by business structure and situation. Always consult your accountant or tax advisor to determine whether a Section 179 deduction applies to your organization.

Stretch Your Remaining Budget Further with the QuoteWerks Winter Special

This is where timing really matters.

If you already know you need better quoting, faster turnaround, or tighter integration with your CRM or accounting system, waiting until next year rarely makes sense. The inefficiencies you tolerate today cost real money every month.

Start the New Year Strong, Not Catching Up

Too many companies enter January trying to fix the same operational problems they had the year before. Investing now means your team starts the new year with better tools, cleaner processes, and momentum already in place.

Use your remaining budget wisely. Reduce friction in your sales process. Improve your bottom line. And yes—potentially soften the tax impact along the way.
