Generally, for trucks and heavy-duty SUVs purchased after September 27, 2017 and used 100% for commercial use, taxpayers receive a depreciation deduction equivalent to at least 100% of the cost of the new vehicle in the first year. The dividend depreciation rate is set at 80% in 2023, 60% in 2024, 40% in 2025 and 20% in 2026. In 2027 and beyond, bonus depreciation is eliminated.

Congress also retained a generous “Section 179” spending allowance, providing a substantial cut for taxpayers who opted for the 100% bonus deduction, had taxable income, purchased a truck or heavy-duty SUV in 2017 and used 100% of it for business Taxi. Taxpayers who purchase a heavy-duty SUV (like a Cadillac XT5 or Escalade) can receive a “Section 179 Cadillac Escalade Gross Vehicle Weight” deduction of up to $25,000 in the first year. The rules limiting the amount of annual depreciation that passenger vehicles can deduct do not apply to heavy-duty (over 6,000 pounds) SUVs because they are considered trucks. For example, if you bought a new SUV over £6,000 for $80,000 in 2018 and used 100% of it for business, you would be able to spend $25,000 immediately under Section 179 under the 50% bonus Immediately spend the $27,500 depreciation rule. The remaining $27,500 on an adjusted basis is eligible for a $5,500 depreciation deduction in 2018. This brings your total deduction for purchases of $80,000 in 2018 to $58,000.

A passenger car is defined as a vehicle with a gross unlades or full load of less than 6,000 pounds with a truck chassis.
The first-year depreciation limit for passenger vehicles is $10,000, plus the $8,000 allowed if bonus depreciation is taken, for a total of $18,000. For example, if you bought a new passenger car for $30,000 in 2017 and used 100% of it for business, you could spend $18,000 in the first year. The remaining $12,000 will be deducted in subsequent years of vehicle ownership. Likewise, if the preferential bonus depreciation is not extended beyond 2027, the deduction will be significantly reduced assuming the same facts as above for the new passenger car. When the special limit of $8,000 is no longer allowed due to the expiration of the bonus depreciation period, you are only eligible for a deduction of $10,000 for a total deduction of $18,000.
