Spending Cap and Phase-Out Rules
The Section 179 deduction begins to phase out when total equipment purchases exceed $3,130,000. Here’s how it works:
- Dollar-for-dollar reduction on purchases above $3,130,000.
- Full phase-out at $4,380,000.
Bonus Depreciation may still apply to any additional purchases above these limits.
How Does Section 179 Apply to Business Vehicles?
When it comes to vehicles, special rules apply:
- Vehicles rated 6,000 lbs. GVWR or less follow standard depreciation rules.
-
SUVs over 6,000 lbs. GVWR but under 14,000 lbs. GVWR: The Section 179 deduction is limited to $31,300:
- Cadillac Escalade
- Cadillac Escalade ESV
- Cadillac Escalade IQ
How Do Carryover & Limitations Work?
Your Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your business’s net taxable income for the year. However, if you don’t use the full deduction in a given year, you can carry it forward to future tax years. This ensures that you won’t lose any tax benefits, even if your business income isn’t high enough to use the full deduction immediately.
Example: How Does Section 179 Save You Money?
Consider a $1,300,000 vehicle purchase:
- Section 179 Deduction: $1,250,000
- Bonus Depreciation: $20,000
- Total Tax Savings (at a 35% tax rate): $444,500
- Final Equipment Cost: $855,500
This shows how Section 179 can dramatically reduce your after-tax costs and help your business preserve capital.
Requirements for Qualifying Property
For your purchase to qualify for Section 179, it must meet these criteria:
- Be primarily used for business purposes (more than 50%).
- Be new or used equipment.
- Be placed in service by December 31, 2025.
- Cannot be inherited or gifted property.
How to Maximize Your Section 179 Benefits with Qualified Financing
To make the most of Section 179, consider Section 179 Qualified Financing. This option allows you to:
- Preserve cash flow with minimal down payments and flexible terms.
- Claim the full Section 179 deduction on financed equipment.
- Potentially save more in taxes than your first-year payments.
- Ensure your purchase qualifies before the December 31 deadline.
- Extended payment terms
- Delivery guarantees before year-end
Section 179 vs. Bonus Depreciation in 2025
Here’s a comparison of Section 179 and Bonus Depreciation:
- Section 179: Deduction up to $1,250,000 with a business income limitation.
- Bonus Depreciation: 40% of the vehicle’s cost can be deducted with no income limit.
The best strategy is often to combine both to maximize your total tax savings.
