Section 179 and Your Business Vehicle
For business owners, a dependable work vehicle can be an important part of keeping employees, equipment and customers moving. Depending on the vehicle, business use and your individual tax situation, a qualifying RAM truck or commercial vehicle may be eligible for a Section 179 deduction.
Section 179 is a federal tax provision that may allow qualifying businesses to deduct all or part of the cost of eligible property placed in service during the applicable tax year, subject to IRS limits and requirements.
If your business is considering a new RAM 1500, RAM 2500, RAM 3500, RAM Chassis Cab or RAM ProMaster, understanding the potential tax implications may be an important part of the purchasing process. Because tax treatment varies by business and vehicle, always consult your qualified tax professional before making a purchase based on potential tax benefits.
