H.R. 4718
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to modify and make
permanent bonus depreciation
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on May 29, 2014
H.R. 4718 would amend the Internal Revenue Code to permanently provide an additional
first-year depreciation deduction of 50 percent of the adjusted basis of qualified property,
effective January 1, 2014. Under current law that additional deduction expired after
December 31, 2013. H.R. 4718 would also expand the definition of qualified property to
include certain retail improvement property and certain trees and vines bearing nuts or
fruits. It would also expand and make permanent recently expired provisions that allowed
corporations to claim additional credits against the alternative minimum tax instead of
claiming the additional first-year depreciation deduction.
The staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) estimates that enacting H.R. 4718
would reduce revenues, thus increasing federal budget deficits, by about $287 billion over
the 2014-2024 period.
The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement
procedures for legislation affecting direct spending and revenues. Enacting H.R. 4718
would result in revenue losses in each year beginning in 2014. The estimated increases in
the deficit are shown in the following table.
JCT has determined that the bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates
as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Logan Timmerhoff. The estimate was approved
by David Weiner, Assistant Director for Tax Analysis.
