Section 179 Vehicle Deduction Summary At Jones Ford Casa Grande

Understanding the Section 179 Deduction

Section 179 is a portion of the U.S. tax code that bolsters cash flow and fosters expansion for businesses. How, you might ask? A Section 179 deduction is an immediate tax break that allows companies to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment now instead of spreading their purchase's depreciation costs over several years.

• Who Section 179 Benefits: The Section 179 deduction helps small and midsize companies that spend less than $6.5 million per year on commercial machinery and equipment.
• Which Vehicles Qualify: The Section 179 deduction applies to both new and used vehicles that are leased, financed, or paid for in cash as long as they are used for business purposes more than 50% of the time.
• Factors To Consider: Heavy-duty trucks and vans with GVWRs above 6,000 pounds qualify for Section 179 vehicle deduction. Vehicles under this threshold may be eligible, but the amount is usually significantly less. Business purchases exceeding $6.5 million are not eligible but may still qualify for bonus depreciation.
• Impacts of Inflation: Maximum phase-out thresholds and Section 179 limits for 2025 have been indexed and adjusted for inflation, and will continue to be each year.

Section 179 is sometimes confused with bonus depreciation; these two tax benefits are different but can be used in conjunction with one another.

Rules & Updates to the Section 179 Deduction & Bonus Depreciation

New tax code legislation has raised Section 179 deduction amounts and bonus depreciation percentages in 2025, and these rules aren't changing anytime soon. Beginning this year, businesses can expect:

• An increased maximum Section 179 tax deduction of $2,500,000.
• An elevated Section 179 phase-out threshold of $4,000,000.
• A shockingly high bonus depreciation of 100%.

After maxing out your Section 179 deduction, you can also receive a first-year bonus depreciation allowance. Bonus depreciation allows businesses to deduct additional depreciation for the cost of qualifying vehicles beyond normal depreciation amounts.

Which Vehicles Do Not Qualify for a Section 179 Tax Deduction?

Like most aspects of our tax code, Section 179 is not a one-size-fits-all rule. Some vehicles won't qualify because they're not used for business more than 50% of the time. Section 179 applies to both new and used purchases, but some used models may not be eligible for these additional tax savings because they don't meet the Section 179 vehicle weight limit.

However, our Jones Ford Casa Grande inventory offers an array of 2025 makes and models that do qualify alongside multiple eligible used variants from past years.
