What is the Section 179 Deduction?
Established by the IRS (Internal Revenue Service), Section 179 was created to encourage businesses to purchase the vehicles they need, promising a significant tax benefit with each purchase. With the Section 179 tax deduction, businesses can subtract the entire purchase price of eligible vehicles or properties from their taxable income the year they put the asset into use. That means that, instead of spreading out the depreciation over several years, you get the one lump sum the year you bought the vehicle. Section 179 is designed to provide immediate tax relief for the business, helping stimulate the economic growth of the company and free up money to help expand the business further.
