Since April 15th is upon us thoughts turn to taxes. Many boaters eventually ask this question. “Could I get a tax break on a new boat?” Actually, the answer could be yes. But that yes comes with some caveats. With this in mind, you’ll need to refer to section 179 of the Internal Revenue code. In order to learn more, visit our previous blog post that summarizes Section 179.
Benefits of owning a charter boat
On one hand there are cost reductions for running the charter boat. These include potential tax breaks, incentives, write offs and deductions to defray expenses. On the other hand there is the income side. Every week of charter is earnings. Here’s the basic math: expenses reduced, income increased. Obviously the question is: How to do it right?
