The end of the year is the perfect time to optimize tax benefits for your business. The Section 179 tax break, established by the Internal Revenue Service, allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and certain vehicles used for business purposes. This provision provides immediate tax relief by permitting you to write off the entire cost in the purchase year, helping you enhance cash flow by keeping more capital in your business.
Most businesses that purchase, finance, or lease less than $2,500,000 in equipment or vehicles during tax year 2026 are eligible for this deduction. The phase-out threshold (the amount of qualifying property placed in service after which the deduction begins to be reduced) is $4 million.
To qualify, equipment must be purchased or leased and put into service between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2026. Our team at Ginn Chevrolet can help determine if your purchases meet Section 179 eligibility.
Typically, business equipment depreciation spreads out over several years, allowing only a portion of the expense as a yearly deduction. For example, a $50,000 equipment purchase may only provide $10,000 in tax deductions annually over five years. Section 179 lets you write off the entire cost in the purchase year, offering immediate tax relief.
While Section 179 offers tremendous benefits, it comes with some limits. The 2026 cap for Section 179 deductions is $2,500,000—applicable for both new and used equipment, provided it is new to your business. Additionally, businesses can receive a 2026 Bonus Depreciation of 40% that’s applicable for both new and used equipment.
Passenger Vehicle Deduction Limit—Certain pickups and heavy-duty SUVs weighing between 6,000 and 14,000 pounds may qualify for a first-year maximum deduction of $31,300.
Heavy-duty vehicles such as certain Chevy trucks, vans, and SUVs with a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,000 lbs. may qualify for significant Section 179 deductions. The Ginn Chevy commercial team understands both business vehicle needs and Section 179 opportunities in identifying which vehicles qualify.
Ginn Chevy offers a wide range of commercial-grade and heavy-duty vehicles that often meet Section 179 weight and use requirements such as the Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Traverse, etc.
