What Is a BMW Tax Advantage?
Is your company considering purchasing a new BMW X5, X6, or X7? If so, you may be able to save even more money in taxes. Because each of these vehicles has a GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) greater than 6,000 pounds, the first year of ownership may be the best time to take advantage of the maximum depreciation allowance. There are certain exceptions to this rule, though.These BMW premium vehicles are "heavy SUVs" because of their Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings—the vehicle's maximum weight when fully loaded with people and/or goods. As a result of this classification, they can serve as "transportation equipment" for your company. To you, what does this mean? You and your organization will save a lot of money!
What Are the BMW Tax Advantage Requirements?
It's straightforward to qualify for BMW tax deductions. All you have to do is the following:- Purchase a BMW luxury model with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 6,000 pounds, such as the BMW X5, X6, or X7.
- This car must be purchased before December 31, 2022.
- This luxury automobile must be used exclusively for work purposes.
What Will My Savings Be?
You may be eligible for increased first-year depreciation on qualified automobiles, such as the BMW X5, X6, or X7, under Section 179 and 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. That means you can deduct 100% of the depreciation on your business's transportation equipment! What does this mean in comparison to other non-eligible vehicles? Consider the following.
If you acquire a BMW X7 for business usage, you can deduct 100% of the vehicle's depreciation. This can amount to more than $90,000! Other luxury automobiles that do not qualify may qualify for a deduction of only 20%, or less than $20,000. 1
However, that is not all! You can continue deducting for as long as you use your BMW for business purposes. Depreciation deductions on luxury automobiles may be carried forward until the vehicle is completely depreciated or sold. Consider how much money you'll save after the first year:
- Second Year: $16,100
- Third Year: $9,700
- $5,760 for Each Subsequent Year
