The Gulf Opportunity Act of 2005 ("GO ZONE" act) was passed by
Congress to help the affected counties rebuild after Hurricanes
Katrina, Rita, and Wilma. The GO Zone Act provides investors
and developers with tremendous tax incentives. The GO Zone Act
provides bonus depreciation incentives allowing you to literally
write off hundreds of thousands of dollars, while still turning
profits on the property.
EXAMPLE
The Program allows for a significant acceleration of the normal
depreciation deduction by allowing a bonus depreciation deduction
in the first year. Qualified GO Zone Property is placed in service
equal to 50% of its cost, in addition to the normal depreciation
deduction for the balance of such costs.
