Possible ITC elimination not a crushing blow to treasury efforts

Article Abstract:

The proposed elimination of the investment tax credit (ITC) and other changes in the accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS) will not greatly affect capital investments of most firms, according to several treasury managers. Treasury managers say they will study the implications of the changes in ACRS before developing new capital investment strategies. It is possible that elimination of the ITC will result in reduced capital equipment purchases, until companies find ways to offset the loss of the ITC. Companies most likely to be adversely affected by the proposed changes are those that have not yet taken advantage of the accelerated cost recovery system.
