Section 179 may allow your business to deduct the full purchase price of your next qualifying commercial vehicle from Mercedes-Benz Van Center of North Haven.
Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment and/or software purchased or financed during the tax year. That means if you buy (or lease) a piece of qualifying equipment, you can deduct the full purchase price from your gross income. It is an incentive created by the U.S. government to encourage businesses to buy equipment and invest in themselves.
All businesses that purchase, finance, and/or lease less than $6,650,000 in new or used business equipment during tax year 2026 should qualify for the Section 179 Deduction. To qualify, the equipment purchased or financed must be placed into service between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026.
When your business buys certain items of equipment, it typically gets to write them off a little at a time through depreciation. For example, if your company spends $50,000 on a machine, it might write off $10,000 a year for five years. Section 179 allows business owners to write off the entire equipment purchase price in the year they buy it.
Yes. There are caps to the total amount written off ($2,560,000 for 2026) and limits to the total amount of equipment purchased ($4,090,000 in 2026). The deduction begins to phase out dollar-for-dollar after $4,090,000 is spent, making it a true small- and medium-sized business deduction.
Section 179 can provide significant tax relief for the 2026 tax year, but equipment and software must be financed and in place by midnight December 31, 2026.
