What is Section 179?
Section 179 is an IRS tax code that gives businesses the power to deduct the cost they spend on qualifying equipment. Section 179 applies to vehicles purchased in that year and used for business purposes at least 50% of the time. This program allows you to write off up to 100% of a covered vehicle, keeping your books in the black.
Key Advantages of Section 179
- Reduction of taxable income that's immediate. Your business does not have to write off deductions a little at a time.
- Enhanced year-end cash flow planning.
- The freedom to reinvest your tax savings back into your business operations.
- A wide range of qualifying equipment you can choose to support your business functions.
How Section 179 Works
To qualify for Section 179, the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is a determining qualification factor. Because the vehicle's weight plays a role, not all models can qualify. It's important to check with the team at L.B. Smith Ford Sales before purchasing your next business vehicle.
