Section 179 Volkswagen Tax Deduction

Section 179 of the IRS tax code may allow eligible business owners to deduct the cost of qualifying Volkswagen vehicles in the year they are placed into service. At Bill Jacobs Volkswagen, we help business owners across Naperville, Hinsdale, and the Chicagoland area understand how their vehicle purchase may align with current tax rules.

Section 179 is designed to encourage business investment by allowing qualified purchases to be expensed in the same tax year rather than depreciated over time.

What Is Section 179?

  • Vehicle must be used for business more than 50 percent of the time
