Driven By Your Bottom Dollar

Did you know you could qualify for a tax benefit from buying a new or “new to you” truck or van for your business?

A Ram truck is generally considered Section 179 property for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This means a taxpayer may elect to treat the cost of any Section 179 property as an expense and allowed as a deduction for the taxable year in which the property is acquired and placed in service. Current tax regulations provide bonus for depreciation that allows you to deduct up to 100% of your truck purchase(s) in the year it was placed in service.

We may have a lot of knowledge about trucks but it’s important to check with your accountant for the specifics of tax law and how any equipment purchases will impact you business’s tax liability. Click here to calculate your savings using the Section 168(k) Tax Deduction Calculator.
