Ask an Accountant

Is the new car purchase for a small business can be considered an operating expense? The car is needed for the transportation of supplies and we plan to put down 50% and finance 50%. Or is it better to lease the car and write off lease payments.

The purchase of a vehicle may be a tax deductible expense.
