Well, assuming that those businesses are paying taxes (hmm?) then purchases of this amount would typically be fully deductible in the same purchase year as opposed to required some sort of complex depreciation schedule, so that would reduce the burden significantly. And since pretty much every vendor would have the same cost increase, it wouldn't be a competitive disadvantage from a pricing point of view. Likely the cost increase would mostly be passed on to the customer.
