## Summary

**Reclassifies qualified energy-efficient draft alcohol dispensing equipment as 15-year business property.** This change moves specified stainless steel or aluminum containers and commercial tap systems used to distribute alcohol into a faster depreciation category so businesses recover costs sooner. - Owners of restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues can depreciate eligible stainless steel or aluminum draft containers and related commercial tap equipment over 15 years, allowing faster cost recovery for that equipment. - Taxpayers who rent or lease qualified energy-efficient draft alcohol property are covered by a rulemaking authority that lets the Treasury issue guidance on how the 15-year treatment applies to leased or rented equipment. - The change applies only to property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
