Looking to add some fiber to your investment diet?
Alpacas produce a premium fiber in 22 vibrant colors, the demand for which is ever increasing. Annual fiber yields vary from about five pounds from a single female to a reported thirteen pounds from a larger male. Breeding and selling in this ever increasingly popular industry is another easy way to add to your investment dollars!
Not
to be overlooked as a very important aspect of raising alpacas are the great tax
benefits provided to both farms and any small business. An alpaca can typically
be depreciated over a five-year span or 20% per year. In addition, Section
179 of the tax code to allows for the deduction of a capital asset.
February 8th, 2012 - The "Tax Relief Act of 2010" and the "Jobs Act of 2010" had a substantial positive impact on Section 179 for the 2012 Tax Year - below is quoted from "section179.org":
- 2012 Deduction Limit - $139,000
- 2012 Limit on Capital Purchases - $560,000
- 2012 Bonus Depreciation - extended the 50% bonus depreciation on qualified assets placed in service during 2012
Capital gains can be available on the sale of breeding animals and their offspring. Current expenses are deductible.
Consult a tax advisor for specifics as they relate to you.
Add to all of this that alpacas are 100% insurable. Can stocks do all of this?
