How Does Section 179 Work?
Section 179 is a tax code designed by the IRS to encourage businesses to invest in themselves. By allowing companies to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment like vehicles during the tax year, businesses can significantly lower their taxable income.
Before this provision, the cost of business equipment was often spread out through depreciation deductions over several years. Now, businesses can choose to write off the entire equipment cost the year they purchase it, making immediate investments more feasible and financially advantageous.
What Are the Section 179 Limits for 2024?
For the 2024 tax year, Section 179 permits up to $1,220,000 in deductions, with a spending cap on equipment purchases set at $3,050,000. 1 Once the spending cap is surpassed, the deduction reduces dollar-for-dollar. This setup ensures that Section 179 is primarily beneficial for small to medium-sized businesses.
On top of this, a 60% Bonus Depreciation is available, 1 enabling further deduction of the purchase price of qualifying assets. All deductions require that vehicles be purchased and in service by December 31, 2024.1
