For business owners, investing in a commercial vehicle impacts your bottom line. The Section 179 tax deduction offers significant tax relief for eligible Chevrolet models used for business purposes. Both new and used Chevyvehicles may be eligible for Section 179 savings, so long as the vehicle is "new-to-you" and primarily used for business purposes.
