Washington, D.C. - Today, the Depreciation Fairness Coalition, led by the National Restaurant Association, sent a letter to each member of the U.S. Congress urging an extension of the 15-year depreciation schedule for restaurant improvements and new construction, leasehold improvements, and retail improvements that is set to expire at the end of 2009. The Coalition says that a seamless extension is essential to provide businesses with the certainty they need to undertake capital expenditures, which are critical to fueling economic activity and creating jobs.
