2014 Business Vehicle Tax Benefits

Looking for the right vehicle for your business needs? Now might be the perfect time to buy! Here's why:

On Tuesday, December 16, 2014, Congress passed the Tax Extenders Bill which extends several 2013 tax benefits through the 2014 tax season, including raising the limit of the Section 179 tax deduction allowing small business owners to depreciate the full cost of their vehicle purchase the first year (rather than depreciating over a number of years). Prior to this bill, the maximum 2014 deduction was $25,000, but with the passage of this bill into law the limit increases to $500,000 for the 2014 tax year.

Section 179 expense increase. With Section 179 expensing, small and mid-size business owners could immediately deduct an amount used to obtain qualifying equipment rather than divide the deduction over time according to a depreciation schedule. Until recently, business owners could deduct up to a hefty $500,000 of qualifying assets. For 2014 (and beyond), the limit plummeted to $25,000.
 
Purchases - whether paid for in cash or financed - are eligible for tax benefits under Section 179, as long as the vehicle is received by December 31, 2014.

FAQ's

Q. What is the Section 179 deduction?

A. Section 179 of the IRS tax code was designed as an incentive for business owners to invest in their businesses and the economy by purchasing equipment. It allows taxpayers to elect to deduct the full purchase cost of certain types of property (up to $25,000) from their federal taxes for the year the property was purchased.

Q. Which property qualifies under Section 179?

A. Most business equipment qualifies for the Section 179 deduction. This includes tangible goods like vehicles, machinery, computers, software, and office furniture. The IRS website has a full list of equipment that qualifies for the Section 179 Tax Deduction. To qualify more than 50% of the property's use must be in the service of a trade or business.

Q. How much can you deduct?

A. The amount you can deduct is generally equal to the purchase price of qualifying property up to $25,000. There are some limitations, including a $25,000 limit on the amount a small business owner can elect to deduct for the purchase of certain sports utility vehicles. There is also a limitation for businesses that purchase more than $200,000 in qualified equipment. The IRS website has a more detailed explanation of deduction limits.

Will the 2014 Section 179 dollar limitations change?

A. Lawmakers are considering an increase to the Section 179 dollar limitation, potentially retroactive to January 1, 2014. Keep an eye on our channels for possible updates.

Chevrolet Captiva Utah

Never heard of the Chevy Captiva? We're not all that surprised! This sporty crossover actually has a unique story.

The Chevrolet Captiva is actually manufactured by GM as fleet vehicle! And that is where many of them stay since they've proven to be so reliable, tough and enjoyable to drive. However, not every Captiva stays on the fleet.

In fact, many Chevy Captivas leave the fleet after less than a year, and are sold back to dealerships just like ours for sale to consumers. Most of the time, these vehicles are very lightly used and have very little miles. This allows us to turn around and sell a great certified pre-owned vehicle to our customers!

A little more about the 2014 Chevrolet Captiva:

• EPA-estimated 28 MPG
• Spacious and Luxurious
• Remote Keyless Entry
• BlueTooth
• Rainsense Windshield Wipers
• Power Sunroof
• 6-speed Automatic Transmission with ECO Mode
• Much more!

The Captiva is the perfect size for any lifestyle. Larry H. Miller Chevrolet in Murray, Utah has a great inventory of Captivas starting at just 17K! That, combined with the efficiency this vehicle provides, allows you to take home a great vehicle and save a whole lot of money.

5 Fall Car Maintenance Tips

The fall season is officially here! As glad you might be to finally break out your sweaters, boots and hats, colder weather can cause havoc to your vehicle. No matter how new or old your vehicle is, cold weather can have an impact on how it performs as well as your safety on the roads. There are some things you can do to prepare your vehicle, however. Here are five DYI fall car maintenance tips:

• Replace your wiper blades- With the rain, snow and salt that will inevitably cover your windshield in Utah, it's important to keep your wiper blades in good shape to keep you safe. 
• Check battery terminals and lights- Cold weather has a tendency to amplify battery and electrical issues. Check your battery for corrosion or loose cables so you don't end up having to call a friend for a jump. Battery terminals can be easily cleaned with a few inexpensive tools. We can also help you check your battery, and recommend needed maintenance. 
• Replace air filter- These should generally be replaced twice each year anyway. If you don't know where your air filter is, our team can assist you. 
• Top off fluids- You never know how nice wiper fluid is until you don't have any, and the morning commute has streaked your windshield with salt from the snow plows. Checking your antifreeze as well as your brake fluid are also must-do's before winter. 
• Check your tires- This includes your spare! Check your tire pressure regularly as fluctuating temperatures can affect this. You also want to be sure that your tread is at the appropriate level to keep you safer on slippery roads. Balding tires are a safety hazard, especially in the winter months. As always, our team can help you identify any needed tire replacements or adjustments. 

The absolute best thing you can do to prepare your vehicle for fall and winter is to bring it in and have the Larry H. Miller Chevrolet Murray team look it over and provide you with recommended work or simple adjustments. You can even schedule your appointment online for easy, convenient service. Be safe out there, and enjoy the season!

1.    Clear it out!

·      Remove any old trash or loose items that might be in your vehicle. Be sure to check your glove box, trunk, floors, and other storage areas.

2.    Vacuum and dust.

3.    Clean the windows.

·      It seems obvious, but sometimes you never know how dirty the insides of your windows really are until you clean them! This will help you keep your visibility as high as possible.

4.    Wash the exterior.

·      Leaving road salt and dirt on your vehicle can be harmful to your vehicle’s paint and could lead to long-term damage. Wash the outside with soap and water, and to protect it further, add a coat of wax!

5.    Get a tune up.

·      It’s not just the visible parts of your car that need to be cleaned. The harsh winter weather can do a number on your vehicles engine and parts.
