BMW Section 179 Tax Deduction in Savannah, GA

The Section 179 Tax Deduction was designed to bolster small businesses’ mobility and help them save on certain expenses. If you visit our BMW dealership in Savannah, GA, to buy or lease an eligible BMW vehicle, you may be able to claim up to 100% off the vehicle’s purchase price on your taxes. A new X5, X6, X7, iX, XM, iX3, and i7 xDrive60 can do wonders for any small or medium-sized business, so visit Critz BMW today and discover how the Section 179 Tax Deduction can positively impact your company. For the most up to date information, refer to official government tax information.1

As a result, business owners who purchase a model listed above on or after January 20, 2025 for use in their business may deduct up to 100% of the vehicle purchase in the year the vehicle is placed in service, as the IRS categorizes vehicles that weigh more than 6,000 pounds differently from other passenger automobiles subject to the luxury auto depreciation limitations. The applicable 6,000-pound threshold is based on gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for SAVs/SUVs and unloaded gross vehicle weight for passenger automobiles, such as the BMW i7 xDrive60.

Example:

  • BMW X5 sDrive40i Purchase Price: $70,000 with 100% Business Use
  • A 100% bonus depreciation deduction ($70,000 x 100%) = $70,000.

This presents a substantial tax savings opportunity for business owners. To qualify, the vehicle must be one of the models listed above, must be purchased (not leased), and must be used more than 50% for business purposes. This deduction applies to both new and used vehicles acquired by purchase, so long as the acquiring taxpayer had not previously used the acquired vehicle and did not acquire the vehicle from a related party.

Customers with questions regarding this topic should consult with their individual tax adviser to determine their eligibility for this potential deduction.
