Buying a work vehicle for your business may qualify for valuable tax benefits under Section 179. This page is here to help you understand the basics and point you to official resources. Always consult your CPA or tax professional for guidance on your specific situation.

Many commercial vehicles are purchased for business use—ask your CPA how Section 179 may apply.

What Is Section 179?

Section 179 is a part of the IRS tax code that may allow businesses to deduct the cost of qualifying equipment and vehicles purchased and put into service for business use (subject to IRS rules and limits).

Important: Eligibility depends on factors like vehicle type/weight class, business use percentage, and whether the vehicle is placed in service within the tax year. Your CPA will confirm what applies.
