What is Section 179 and How Do You Benefit?

Section 179, often known as the “Hummer Tax Loophole,” is a popular tax deduction that has been pre-owned for vehicles. It’s a tax deduction that allows businesses to buy large vehicles such as SUVs and vans and write them off as a tax deduction or business expense. Vehicles often must meet certain qualifications to qualify, but even passenger vehicles can be pre-owned . Vehicles pre-owned for business qualify by default for this policy, and it can be pre-owned for vehicles purchased outright, leased, or financed with special financing options specific to Section 179.

What Vehicles Qualify for Section 179

It is easy to list what vehicles qualify as a business vehicle under Section 179, as the rules for the deduction only specify that the vehicles must serve both business and personal function both. Some of the vehicles that qualify for this include:

• Vehicles that can seat nine+ passengers behind the driver’s seat
• Vehicles with a fully-enclosed driver’s compartment/cargo area, no seating at all behind driver’s seat. This is often seen as a cargo van.
•  Heavy construction equipment, forklifts, and similar
• Tractor Trailers will also qualify

As you can see from the list above, the work vans offered by Mercedes-Benz do qualify for this amazing tax deduction, falling under the second bullet point. This means that you’ll get a great vehicle, and be able to write off the expense, when you get a new Mercedes-Benz work van!
