What is Section 179 Deduction for Vehicles
The Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase costs of any qualifying vehicles that are bought or financed during the tax year. In other words, if you buy or lease a car for your business, you may qualify to subtract the expense from your income. Speak with the Mercedes-Benz financing team at our Mercedes-Benz dealership in Lynnfield, MA, for more information.

Receive a tax-deduction of up to $25,000 when you buy or lease an eligible Mercedes-Benz SUV. Under Section 179, your small- or medium-sized business can receive rewarding tax breaks for investing in itself. This section of the tax code applies to certain leases and purchases, including several new and used Mercedes-Benz models.
The Tax Benefit of Section 179
The normal tax treatment applicable to the lease and purchase of capital equipment is to depreciate the cost over several years. In this way, the company recoups part of the cost through annual tax deductions. Section 179 is a special accounting procedure that permits a small- or medium-sized company to deduct the cost of eligible leases and purchases in the current tax year. The maximum Section 179 write-off of $25,000 might be greater than your outlay in the first year, making your new Mercedes-Benz lease or purchase even more affordable.

What Mercedes-Benz Vehicles Are Eligible for Section 179 Deduction?

In addition, the vehicle must have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 6,000 to 14,000 pounds.
