Section 179 Deduction Available on Select Commercial Vehicles
Take Advantage of Section 179 Tax Savings on Ford Commercial Trucks in New Jersey
What Is the Section 179 Tax Deduction?
Section 179 is an IRS tax incentive that allows businesses to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying vehicles and equipment in the year they are placed into service. This means NJ businesses can write off the cost of eligible Ford commercial trucks, vans, and work vehicles instead of depreciating them over several years.
Why New Jersey Contractors and Businesses Use Section 179
Local business owners, including contractors, electricians, landscapers, delivery services, plumbing companies, and HVAC technicians, use Section 179 to:
- Lower taxable income before year-end
- Upgrade or expand their truck fleet
- Improve reliability and reduce downtime
- Invest in cargo vans and upfit-ready vehicles
- Take advantage of special Ford commercial incentives
Ford Vehicles That May Qualify for Section 179
Section 179 typically applies to vehicles used for business more than 50% of the time. Many Ford commercial vehicles meet these requirements, including:
