While there is no one correct answer that fits every situation, nor every rural building business, compared to the simplicity of buying, leasing is far more complicated and may be getting more complex. Thanks to negotiations between the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) which sets rules [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; By Mark Battersby &#8211; All too often unsuspecting rural building business owners find themselves facing penalties, fines and substantial tax bills because the ever-vigilant IRS has ignored a past transaction it views as having been conducted by “related persons.” Below-market rate loans, sales of property, installment sales, like-kind exchanges, intercompany transactions, etc. all may suffer from special tax treatment. Making things more difficult, there isn’t just one definition of [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Proper disposal of unused, unneeded or unwanted assets -By Mark Battersby- The IRS has long provided guidance to rural building businesses for capitalizing and depreciating their business property. Largely lost in even the most recent regulatory guidance however, are the proper procedures—and deductions—for disposing of any unused, unneeded or unwanted business assets or property. Every once in a while one or more items of business property may no longer be [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8211; By Mark Battersby &#8211; Don’t miss out on deductions for depreciation that you’re entitled to take. As many rural builders have learned, our ever-changing tax rules make it difficult to get the full tax deduction they are entitled to for the tools, equipment and even the vehicles that are so essential to every building business. The so-called “Extenders” tax law passed late in 2014 did extend the first-year write-off [&#8230;]]]></description>

Unfortunately, fraud and financial data losses are not limited to retailers nor to one industry. Small rural building operations and businesses are increasingly vulnerable to cyber crimes like online identity theft, hacking or phishing. Today, almost every building [&#8230;]]]></description>

Now, after seven years of drafts and proposed rules, the IRS has issued final regulations addressing whether costs are currently deductible or whether they must be capitalized and recovered [&#8230;]]]></description>
