Section 179 Tax Break: What Is It?

The IRS first made the Section 179 Tax Code to help small and medium businesses grow, but businesses of all sizes can use this tax deduction now. Businesses that need vehicles to expand may be able to save on commercial vehicles and other qualifying equipment up to a total of $1,000,000! Whether you are looking at new, used, or even certified pre-owned vehicles near Easton, you may be able to use the Section 179 Tax Code towards your purchase. 

How do you claim this deduction for the vehicles bought within the current tax year? Make sure the title of all of the vehicles are registered in your business’s name and they must be placed in service by December 31, 2021! 

Section 179 Tax Break: Vehicle & Equipment Qualifications

Let us break down the qualifications that this tax deduction requires:

• Vehicles with a seating capacity of at least 9 passengers
• Vehicles with a fully-enclosed driver’s compartment/cargo area without seating behind the driver’s seat or a body section extending 30 inches past the windshield, such as a classic cargo van 

If you want to buy a passenger Chevrolet truck or SUV instead of a commercial vehicle, your purchase may still be eligible as long as the vehicles are used for business purposes at least 50% of the time. However, if they are never used for business purposes, then their depreciation limits will be reduced by a corresponding amount. You should know that the full Section 179 expense deduction with Bonus Depreciation is maxed at $11,160 for cars and $11,560 for vans and trucks. A few exceptions include:

• Heavy, non-SUV vehicles that have a cargo area with a minimum length of 6 feet 
• Taxis and other transportation vehicles
• Hearses and ambulances
• Select vehicles that have been customized for business purposes

Raceway Chevrolet always have leasing and financing specials for new vehicles and specials for pre-owned vehicles if the specific car you want in the Bethlehem area isn’t covered by this tax break!
