Fire Sprinkler Incentive Act Approved
Recent federal tax reform legislation — the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act — includes incentives that help small business owners install fire sprinklers. Fire sprinkler systems are known to reduce the spread of fire in a building.

Small businesses can now deduct the expense of installing a fire sprinkler system on their federal taxes. Now, fire sprinkler installation can be expensed up to $1 million for each year of the expense. This incentive makes it possible for businesses to install, retrofit or upgrade their current fire suppression systems. Businesses can also deduct interest from loans received for this renovation.
New Supreme Court Ruling:
Internet Retailers & Sales Tax 
Americans do LOTS of shopping online, drawn by low prices, wide selection and buy-from-home convenience. E-commerce has had another edge: Many of those sales were tax-free; however, the Supreme Court recently handed states broad authority to require online retailers to collect sales taxes.

On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court ruled that internet retailers can be required to collect sales tax. The decision is a victory for brick-and-mortar businesses that have long felt they are disadvantaged by having to charge sales tax while many online competitors do not.
