The owners and operators of many pressure washing businesses will have to live and, in many cases, suffer, with today's tax laws - especially the deduction limits for cars, vans, and SUVs. That's right, those purchasing or leasing a vehicle during 2013, whether for use in the pressure cleaning business or for the owner and/or key employees, face severely limited depreciation deductions - restrictions that can substantially increase the out-of-pocket cost of acquiring any business vehicle. Fortunately, everyone that uses a truck or van in their business - for jobs, deliveries, or other functions - may be able to write off its purchase price in the year it is first used for business, or the operation may be limited to writing off only a few thousand dollars a year for several years. The tax treatment depends on the size of the vehicle, and whether it's suitable for personal as well as business use.
