Buy a SUV – get a government subsidy
Among the provisions of the tax package just approved by Congress is an increase in the deduction allowed for small-business equipment purchases, which rises from $25,000 to $100,000. That means real estate agents, lawyers, doctors — anybody who files a Schedule C or corporate tax return — can write off the entire cost of virtually any big sport-utility vehicle. The potential tax savings in the top bracket is $35,000.
