What Is Section 179? 

Section 179 is a business tax code that offers business owners tax deductions on certain kinds of business equipment, including commercial vehicles. This helps business owners combat their assets depreciating. This can help business owners in the La Quinta area like you have a chance to deduct up to $30,500* for a qualifying vehicle from your business’s gross income for the appropriate tax year. This can add up to about $6,405** in savings. Sometimes, you might be able to deduct the full purchase price of your business vehicle, but you’ll want to consult your designated tax professional to see what you qualify for.
