Here at Hoffman Ford, we have a dedicated team of experts who can pair you with the right vehicle for your growing business. Our Ford dealership near Glastonbury is proud to offer the Section 179 tax deduction -- a tax code that was implemented by the U.S. government to help small- to medium-sized businesses invest in themselves.


If you buy an eligible vehicle and put it into service by end of day on December 31, 2023, you’ll be able to write off up to the full price of your car, truck, van or SUV. This tax incentive also applies to select pre-owned vehicles as well, giving you even more savings on a work truck or commercial van that’ll help your business grow!

Some vehicles that qualify for Section 179 include cargo vans with no seating behind the driver’s seat, as well as passenger vans that can seat nine or more passengers behind the driver. Ford trucks and SUVs can be eligible for the Section 179 tax deduction so long as they're used for business more than 50% of the time.

How Does Section 179 Work?
If you purchase a qualifying vehicle during the 2023 tax year and place it into service by the end of the year, you’ll be able to take full advantage of Section 179 and write off up to the entire purchase price of your vehicle. Please note that if the vehicle is not used for business purposes 100% of the time, the amount you can deduct will be affected.
