2025 Section 179 & Bonus Depreciation: A Fleet Owner’s Opportunity

Fleet owners, take note: 2025 brings major tax incentives that can make upgrading or expanding your fleet more affordable than ever. With higher Section 179 limits and full 100% bonus depreciation, many commercial vehicles can be deducted in full in the year they’re placed in service.

What You Need to Know

  • Section 179: Up to $2.5 million in qualifying property can be expensed in 2025.

  • Bonus Depreciation: 100% available for qualifying assets placed in service after January 20, 2025.

  • Who Qualifies: Heavy vehicles (GVWR over 6,000 lbs), used more than 50% for business, including certain used vehicles.

Why This Matters

  • Immediate deductions improve cash flow and reduce taxable income.

  • Used or new vehicles can qualify, giving flexibility in fleet planning.

  • Timing matters — placing vehicles in service before year-end 2025 maximizes benefits.
