Section 179 and Your Business Vehicle Purchase
For many business owners, purchasing a truck, van or other commercial vehicle is an important investment in keeping the business moving. Depending on the vehicle, how it is used and your specific tax circumstances, a qualifying business vehicle may be eligible for a Section 179 deduction.
Section 179 is a federal tax provision that can allow qualifying businesses to deduct all or part of the cost of eligible property placed in service during the tax year, subject to applicable rules and limitations. The IRS sets annual deduction limits and additional requirements, so businesses should consult their tax professional before making a purchase based on potential tax benefits.
