Default Tax Incentives for Q8

Can you deduct the Q8 100% under bonus depreciation being a heavy suv or was that removed in the new tax code?

What are the chances that tax codes are different around the world and for each country? Without posting your location, you are making it very difficult for readers to help you.

The 100% depreciation is valid for 2018. Hoping the Q8 qualifies because that’s why I bought mine! I’m assuming it does since it’s based off of Q7 chassis and can tow 7000 pounds. I can’t find the figures anywhere on the car though.

Yes, assuming it's over 6,000lbs. Also, the new tax code is more favorable for passenger vehicle deductions than it was in the past.

Second part of the new tax bill that effects vehicles are the depreciation rules. They have changed the Section 280F limits on depreciating passenger vehicles. The new law just about quadruples the Sec 280F limitations, so in the first year it’s $10,000, second year is $16,000, third year is $9,600 and the remaining years are $5,760. Plus you get an extra $8,000 in the first year for bonus depreciation. That’s a big change which will allow you to take your extra basis in the new vehicle and depreciate it sooner, often capturing that extra basis all in the first year as depreciation.

Thanks for the good info. Do you know the section where it states the 100% depreciation for full write off in one year? My accounts is saying I can only get about 75% of the value of vehicle written off for 2018 (despite using the car 100% for businsss).

Nothing to do with towing weight. You'll find the Max Gross Vehicle Weight on the sticker on drivers side B pillar, With a curb weight of about 5000 pounds, I'm sure that it has a load capacity above 1000 pounds, putting you over the 6000 pound threshold.
