IRS Section 179 Details for the Upcoming Tax Season

The Section 179 tax deduction lets eligible businesses immediately write off the cost of qualifying equipment placed in service during the tax year, rather than depreciating the asset over several years. Claim the business vehicle expense upfront with a tax write-off, and improve your cash flow. Vehicles with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) of at least 6,000 pounds are classified as "Heavy" models. Eligible passenger SUVs, including the BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7, BMW XM, and BMW iX, have a $32,000 maximum tax deduction under Section 179. Passenger cars in the "Light" categorization are subject to "luxury auto" depreciation limits. There is a placed-in service deadline. Any eligible BMW vehicle must be in active business use by the end of the tax year. The business use requirement states that the vehicle must be driven for business purposes more than 50 percent of the time to receive the tax deduction. The vehicle title must be in the name of the business.
