Section 179 Tax Savings 2024

Upgrade Your Business Fleet with a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van from Mercedes-Benz of Fairfield

Thinking about upgrading your business transportation with a new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or Metris van? Section 179 of the U.S. tax code could make that decision even more appealing. This tax incentive allows eligible businesses to deduct a significant portion of the vehicle’s purchase price from their gross income in the year of purchase, rather than depreciating it slowly over time. This means potentially substantial tax savings that could free up resources for other business needs. Let’s explore how Section 179 could work for you.

Section 179 Summary for Mercedes-Benz Van Purchases

  • Section 179 enables eligible businesses to deduct the full purchase price of certain qualifying equipment, including vehicles, bought during the tax year. This means you can write off the entire cost of the vehicle in the year you acquire it, rather than gradually depreciating it over several years.
  • To be eligible for Section 179, the vehicle must be purchased for business use. Please consult your tax professional to determine the applicability of this deduction and whether you qualify for the maximum amount available. If your business use falls below this threshold, you may only be eligible for a partial deduction.

What Business Vehicles May Qualify?

  • Vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of at least 6,000 pounds often qualify. This category includes many full-size SUVs, commercial vans, and pickup trucks. The specific deduction amount for each vehicle depends on its total cost and the business use percentage.
  • Vehicles with a GVWR over 14,000 pounds or those modified for non-personal use may also qualify. Examples include shuttle vehicles, delivery vans with specific characteristics, and vehicles specifically designed for professional use like ambulances and hearses.

How Much Can I Deduct?

  • For 2024, the deduction limit is $1,220,000, with a total equipment spending cap of $2,890,000. You may be able to deduct up to $30,500 on a qualifying vehicle. In some instances, businesses may be able to deduct the full price of a vehicle. You may be able to deduct a greater amount by combining this with bonus depreciation but consult with a tax professional for details.
  • There are overall limits on the total Section 179 deduction you can claim. For the 2024 tax year, these are: a maximum deduction of $1,220,000 and a spending cap of $3,050,000.

Application to Sprinter Models

Based on their size and intended use, the Sprinter Cargo Van, Crew Van, and Passenger Van would likely qualify for the Section 179 deduction if used primarily for business purposes. The specific deduction amount would depend on the GVWR of the chosen model and configuration. It’s recommended to consult with a tax advisor for guidance on maximizing tax savings through Section 179.
