If I buy down the lease (pay a lump sum up-front) of a vehicle for my new business, how would this up-front payment be treated for tax purposes?
You must spread any advance lease payments over the entire lease period. You cannot deduct any payments you make to buy a car even if the payments are called lease payments. If you lease a car that you use in your business, you can deduct the part of each lease payment that is for the use of the car in your business. You cannot deduct any part of a lease payment that is for commuting to your regular job or for any other personal use of the car.
