Why Kyocera Devices Are a Solid Choice

Before diving into tax strategies, let’s talk about the tech—why many businesses favor Kyocera, especially in demanding office environments.

Key strengths of Kyocera:

• ECOSYS technology: Long life components and durable consumables mean fewer service calls and lower cost per page.

• High speed and reliable throughput: Models like color Kyocera ECOSYS P8060cdn, P6230cdn, and monochrome high‑volume models offer fast printing for workgroups or entire departments. (YourABT carries these options.)

• Strong security and workflow features: Modern Kyocera devices support secure printing, cloud/mobile workflows, and advanced scanning, which is especially important in business environments with data compliance requirements.

• Scalability: You can get devices for small offices (few users) up to large department or production environments, so you don’t over‑buy or under‑invest.

Because Q4 tends to have year‑end budgets and tax deadlines, Kyocera’s reliability and lower operating cost make them a safe bet.

Understanding Section 179 for 2025: What It Means for Your Purchase

Using Section 179 effectively can transform a purchase from “nice‑to‑have” to “must‑do this year.” Here’s what you need to know for 2025.

Why it matters now:

• If you buy/lease/purchase a qualifying Kyocera device in Q4 and place it into service by year‑end, you can potentially deduct the full or large portion of its cost on your tax return.

• That means the real cost of ownership drops significantly in year one, improving cash flow.

• Because many dealers/brands anticipate demand at year‑end (and inventory or supply chain constraints), early orders also lock in pricing and avoid delays.

Which Kyocera Models Are Best for Q4 Upgrades

Here are several Kyocera models that balance performance, reliability, and cost—especially when you take Section 179 into account. These are good targets for a purchase or lease that qualifies this year.

How to Plan Your Purchase / Lease for Maximum Benefit in Q4

To get the most value (both tax and operational), follow these steps:

1. Decide whether to buy or lease

   • Buying with cash or financing allows Section 179 deduction directly.

   • Many leases can qualify if the lease is a “finance lease” or if you assume ownership under the lease. Be sure to check that your arrangement qualifies.

2. Place the device into service by year‑end

   • That means it must be delivered, set up, and being used in 2025. Don’t wait until January to install it—IRS looks for “placed into service” date.

3. Document business usage

   • Make sure you use the device more than 50% for business purpose.

   • Keep invoices, proof of installation, user logs, etc. in case of audit.

4. Check your taxable income level vs deduction limits

   • If your business income is lower, your deduction is limited by your income. Section 179 cannot exceed taxable income from active business.

   • If your purchases exceed the phase‑out thresholds, you might still leverage bonus depreciation.

5. Get quotes and timing right

   • Get quotes before holidays; verify availability so you can install in time.

   • Negotiate delivery, setup, and service contracts before year‑end.

6. Review total cost of ownership (TCO), not just price

   • Consider ink/toner cost, media, maintenance, power usage. Kyocera tends to shine in TCO with its long‑life components and efficient consumables.

Cost Comparison: Kyocera Models + Section 179 Impact

Here’s an example showing how Section 179 can change your real cost for one of these Kyocera models:

(Numbers illustrative; your actual savings depend on your tax bracket, usage, location, and quoted consumable prices.)

Why Q4 Is The Prime Time to Act

• Year‑end budgets and existing tax year deadlines: Many companies want capital investments done before year‑end.

• Changing cost / supply risk: As many manufacturers face cost pressure (materials, shipping), waiting may mean higher prices or longer lead times.

• Section 179 rules apply only this year for certain limits: Taking advantage now gives you max benefit. If you wait, some interim opportunities may be lost.

• Financing / lease deals tend to pop in Q4: Vendors often run promotions, discounted leases, trade‑in bonuses.

Conversion Checklist: Make The Right Move Before The Year Ends

Use this checklist to make sure your purchase or lease of a Kyocera device hits the sweet spot:

• Identify monthly print volume & ratio of color vs B&W

• List required features (scanner, finishing, duplex, mobile/cloud printing, security)

• Choose Kyocera models that meet or exceed those needs

• Get quotes that include delivery, installation, warranty, service plans

• Confirm the device can be placed into service by December 31, 2025

• Verify business usage percentage (must be >50% for equipment to qualify)

• Talk with your tax or accounting advisor to confirm Section 179 eligibility

• Ensure lease or purchase documents reflect qualifying terms
