Really? I've never heard of this. Is this industry specific?

Just has to be used for 50% business use. Also this is n expense offsetting revenue, not a tax credit

So if you just need a company car to drive to sales calls or something, then you're better off getting some 8-seater SUV than a sedan? I would understand if it were for contractors or farmers to ensure that they weren't trying to write off a Corvette as a business expense, but having that be universal is just dumb.
