Big Beautiful Bill – Business Edition – Tax Senior Bryce Thompson

New tax rules rarely hand business owners this much control over cash flow, but the latest bill does exactly that. We sit down with Bryce Thompson, Tax Senior at MP CPAs, to break down what actually changes your bottom line: the return of 100% bonus depreciation for most non-residential assets, a bigger Section 179 limit, immediate expensing for qualified production property in U.S. manufacturing, and the shift back to EBITDA for Section 163(j) interest limits. Bryce explains how these provisions can accelerate deductions, improve financing capacity, and help you reinvest sooner.

We dig into practical strategy, not buzzwords. You’ll hear how to time capital purchases around income, why state conformity can erode a clean federal win, and when it makes sense to push placed-in-service dates into 2025. For innovators, domestic R&D becomes fully deductible starting in 2025, with a powerful retroactive election for small businesses to reclaim previously capitalized costs. We map the deadlines, tradeoffs, and modeling steps to capture the most value without tripping over multi-year consequences.

Founders planning exits will want to note tighter QSBS timelines and higher caps: a reduced holding period with tiered exclusions, an increased per-issuer cap to 15 million, and a larger asset threshold that broadens eligibility. Put together, these changes reward smart sequencing—aligning purchases, financing, and equity plans to your revenue curve. If you’re building, modernizing, or preparing to sell, this is a timely playbook to turn tax law into leverage. If this helped clarify your next move, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review so others can find it.
