Ohio Peterbilt is here to help you make the most of your year-end investment.
Are you considering upgrading your fleet with new medium or heavy-duty trucks? Now is the perfect time to make your move. With the 2025 Section 179 Tax Deduction, qualifying businesses can deduct the full purchase price of eligible trucks.
But don’t wait, the deadline is December 31, 2025. All trucks must be delivered and in service by that date to qualify.
What Is Section 179?
Section 179 of the IRS tax code allows businesses to deduct the full cost of qualifying equipment, including semi-trucks purchased or financed during the tax year. This means that instead of depreciating the asset over several years, you can deduct the entire amount in the year it’s placed in service.
This deduction is especially valuable for businesses investing in commercial vehicles over 6,000 lbs. GVWR, such as:
• Medium-duty trucks
• Heavy-duty trucks
Key Requirements to Qualify
To take full advantage of Section 179, make sure your purchase meets these criteria:
• GVWR over 6,000 lbs. (Most medium and heavy-duty trucks qualify).
• Business Use: The vehicle must be used more than 50% for business.
• Deadline: The truck must be purchased, delivered, and placed in service by December 31, 2025.
• Documentation: Keep records of purchase, installation, and business use to support your deduction claim.
Plan Ahead
Delivery lead times can vary, especially for custom or specialty trucks. To ensure you meet the year-end deadline, we recommend placing your order early and working with your local Ohio Peterbilt dealer to confirm availability and delivery timelines.
