Leverage this Tax Break for your New Technology
Instead of deducting equipment or software over time - according to a set depreciation schedule - Section 179 of the tax code allows many small and mid-sized businesses to deduct the full purchase price during the first tax year.
It works for most leased or purchased equipment. When you purchase you pay the entire amount for the equipment out of pocket, and then deduct the purchase price on your taxes. When you lease you pay only the monthly lease payments out of pocket, and still get to deduct the full purchase price on your taxes.
Late last year Congress boosted the deduction up to $500,000 on phone systems and other qualifying equipment. Check out the details about this important tax break here: Section179.org
Then contact MABC for help in mapping out your transformative business communications acquisition: call

Don’t “Phreak Out” – 7 simple steps to prevent phone hacking
Phone hacking or “phreaking” costs businesses billions of dollars. Even worse – as some of our clients have learned – many carriers expect you to pay the bill!
Decades ago, hackers were able to access the telephone network using a series of tones input via a “blue box” to fool the system into allowing them to make free long distance calls. Often these hackers did it just to prove it could be done.
Now hackers access business phone systems through voicemail ports to make huge numbers of free calls. The good news is that there are measures you can take to ensure your phone system stays well protected…
1. When installing new equipment, change the access credentials from the default settings.
2. Do NOT use easy passwords such as 1234.
3. Routinely review itemized telephone invoices for any anomalies.
4. Ask your service provider about their fraud monitoring policy.
5. If you have more than one administrator accessing the telephone system, make sure they use unique access credentials.
6. Whenever staff members leave the organization, immediately disable their access credentials.
7. Store all access credentials securely.
MABC recognizes that your phone system is essential to your daily operations. Let's talk about best-practice security measures you can take.
