IRS Section 179 Details for the Upcoming Tax Season

The Section 179 tax deduction can have an immediate financial impact on your Chattanooga business. Section 179 of the Internal Revenue Code allows businesses to deduct part of a qualifying vehicle's cost in the year it's placed into service.

Any "Heavy" vehicle with a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) exceeding 6,000 pounds may be eligible for a tax deduction. This applies to multiple BMW SUV models, including the BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7, BMW XM, and BMW iX. The Section 179 deduction limit for qualifying SUVs is $32,000. Vehicles in the "Light" category have a lower deduction limit. Qualifying vehicles may be eligible for bonus depreciation.

There is a strict business use requirement of at least 50 percent. Your business-use percentage determines the amount you can deduct. Not using the BMW entirely for business will lower the write-off amount. Any qualifying BMW vehicle must be purchased and placed in service by the end of the tax year. The title of the BMW vehicle must be in the name of the business.

Final Price excludes required taxes, tag, title, other governmental fees and includes a processing fee of $800
