ASSEMBLY COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
COMMITTEE
STATEMENT TO
ASSEMBLY, No. 5218
with committee amendments
STATE OF NEW JERSEY
DATED: MARCH 8, 2021
The Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee
reports favorably and with committee amendments Assembly Bill No.
5218.
This bill, as amended, would allow the owner of a small
restaurant or of an alcoholic beverage manufacturer to use a bonus
depreciation allowance of up to $150,000 for capital expenditures
incurred within New Jersey to comply with the health and safety
requirements of the Governor’s executive orders regarding the
COVID-19 pandemic. These capital expenditures would include
but are not limited to the purchase of heaters and overhangs. This
benefit would be available to a restaurant owner if the restaurant
has no more than 100 employees, and if the restaurant is not a chain
restaurant.
Bonus depreciation allows a business to immediately deduct a
large percentage of the purchase price of certain property. New
Jersey decoupled from the federal rules regarding bonus
depreciation in 2002. This bill re-couples to the federal rules for
small business restaurant owners on up to $150,000 of expenditures
incurred to comply with the Governor’s COVID-19 executive
orders.
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS:
Amendments to the bill extend eligibility for the additional
depreciation allowance to owners of alcoholic beverage manufacturers.
