Tax Strategy Overview

Accelerate Your First-Year Vehicle Depreciation

Under IRS Section 179, businesses can expense the cost of eligible commercial vehicles immediately rather than spreading deductions across several tax cycles. Combining this with current bonus depreciation provisions empowers companies to maximize annual tax savings while fielding vehicles that deliver executive prestige.

  • Vehicle Weight Standard: Applicable to heavy SUVs with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) exceeding 6,000 lbs.
  • Commercial Usage: Vehicles must be operated more than 50% of the time for legitimate business purposes.
  • Service Verification: The vehicle must be fully titled, delivered, and put into active service before year-end.
  • Tax Professional Review: We strongly advise verifying your specific eligibility and deduction structure with a CPA.
