INCLUSION AMOUNT

Additional amount of income a taxpayer needs to report as an outcome of leasing a vehicle or property used for business. It must be declared if the fair market value of the leased vehicle or property surpasses the threshold. Inclusion amount is created to restrain the taxpayer’s deduction amount to the amount that would be reduced as depreciation if the individual owned the vehicle or property. It staves off the taxpayer from being able to subtract the whole amount of the bigger lease payments against the lesser amount of the depreciation.
