Section 179 Tax Break

Section 179 Tax Break available on Commercial Vehicles and Small Business Use Vehicles
What Is Section 179 & What Does It Mean For You?


When owning a business, owners must learn and understand various tax laws to save money and get unique tax benefits. Section 179 of the United States tax law states that a business can deduct up to the full purchase price of a new or used vehicle that has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of 6,000 lbs or more and is used for business purposes more than 50% of the time. 


Section 179 Deductions & Limitations


With the upcoming 2023 tax year upon us, businesses can write off as much as 1,160,000 dollars worth of vehicles, equipment, and software used by and for the company. Section 179 is vital for small and medium-sized businesses, but there are a couple of main limitations to the tax law. 


  1. The amount of money deducted can not be more than the income of the business owner’s trades or the total businesses they own.

  2. If the qualified assets the business owner puts into effect during the taxable year exceeds $2.89 million, including inflation indexing, the deduction allowance phases out.


What Vehicles Does Section 179 Apply To?


Do keep in mind that Section 179 allows business owners to deduct the purchase price of both new and used vehicles and equipment, whether financed, leased, or purchased in full.
