Section 179 Tax Deductions at Mercedes-Benz of Nashville
Your business could deduct up to $31,300 * in Section 179 deductions for 2025. **
What is a Section 179 Tax Deduction, and How Can Nashville Businesses Benefit?
Section 179 is a federal tax deduction that allows qualifying businesses to write off the full purchase price of eligible vehicles when they are placed into service during the tax year. For business owners in Franklin and the Nashville metro area, this deduction can result in a significant benefit when selecting a Mercedes-Benz model for commercial use.
Rather than spreading deductions over several years, Section 179 allows businesses to deduct the entire amount up front. This can lower taxable income and provide financial flexibility, making it easier for Middle Tennessee executives, entrepreneurs, and contractors to invest in a premium vehicle built for work demands.
Does My Business Qualify?
You may qualify if you:
- Are a business that purchased or financed qualifying new or used business equipment, including certain business-use vehicles, during the tax year.
- Used this equipment for business purposes more than 50% of the time.
- Spent less than $3,130,000 on this equipment.
What Are The Dollar Amount Limits?
These are the limits on claiming this tax savings:
- You cannot write off more than $1,250,000.
- The total amount of the equipment purchase cannot be more than $3,130,000. It phases out dollar-for-dollar after that, so once $4,050,000 is spent, the deduction goes away entirely.
