Financing a Car? Find Out If This New Tax Deduction Could Lower Your Costs
There are several ways to buy a new car, from purchasing one outright with cash to financing it through a car loan. Now, however, a provision in the recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) provides a little tax incentive for anyone thinking of financing a car through 2028. Find Out: Read Next: 'As of 2025, when you buy an automobile for personal, nonbusiness use, not a lease, a loan you borrow for it can be deductible for interest. It hadn't been deductible for a while, so it's a significant change,' according to Alex Black, CMO of EpicVIN. Find out if this tax deduction can make it cheaper for you to finance a new car. What the Provision Says Effective immediately (and retroactively through 2025), for any car purchased between 2025 and 2028, you may deduct interest paid on a loan of a 'qualified vehicle' so long as the vehicle is for personal use. A qualified vehicle, according to the IRS page, 'is a car, minivan, van, SUV, pick-up truck or motorcycle, with a gross vehicle weight rating of less than 14,000 pounds.' This only applies to new vehicles, so used car buyers will have to find other ways to justify their purchases. Learn More: Focus on American Made For lovers of Japanese, German and other overseas carmakers, there won't be as much tax incentive for you. Ruth Calkins, auto expert and general manager at Findbyplate, pointed out that 'The OBBB limits its tax deductions to American assembled new vehicles alone, and does not include a provision for used vehicles, much less those assembled outside America.' While there's a lot of gray area around whether a car has been fully made or assembled in the U.S., you'll be able to get this answer through your car's vehicle identification number (VIN). However, unlike the clean vehicle tax credit that only covers electric vehicles (EVs), the OBBB vehicle loan deduction is more inclusive and accommodating of both internal combustion engine vehicles and EVs, Calkins said. And, since that EV credit is going to be phased out after Sept. 30, 2025, this might be a good way to get a bit of a break. Be Aware of Income Limitations While there is a limit on how much interest you can deduct, 'as long as the vehicle satisfies the eligibility requirements, the vehicle qualifies for the tax deduction,' Calkins said. Apart from the loan origination date, Calkins said, 'another caveat that buyers should take note of before daydreaming about all the things they could do with this tax break come next taxing season, is the income limitation.' Additionally, given that the deduction only extends to individual consumers with a modified adjusted gross income (AGI) of $100,000 or less, and $200,000 for those filing jointly, many people will not qualify for this deduction. Itemizers Only There's one more caveat, Black said. 'You will have to itemize your deductions in order for you to claim it, something not everyone does anymore since the standard deduction went up.' So, if you normally take the standard, this may not help you. What If You Bought a Car This Year Already? If you already took out a loan on an otherwise qualifying vehicle and you're wondering if you're eligible based on purchase date, the key is simple: If you purchased it in 2025, you can still qualify for the deduction. 'However, if you are already in a car loan [from 2024 or earlier], sorry — no discount for you,' Black said. How Much Can You Save? How much you can save will depend on how much you borrow and your interest rate, Black said. However, it is worth noting that the average person taking advantage of this tax break isn't going to spend anywhere close to $10,000 in auto loan interest in a year. According to car website Edmunds, you'd have to take out an auto loan of around $112,000, which is more than double the average price of a new vehicle, to even pay that much in annual interest. Let's say you did take out a $25,000 loan at 7% interest, Black said 'You'll pay roughly $1,750 in interest in year one. If you're in the 22% tax bracket, you might get nearly $400 off your tax bill. Not bad.' Overall Impact on Auto Buyers? Black suggested the tax credit may make more people choose buying over leasing and it can also soften the blow of rising interest rates a bit. 'It won't make a significant impact, though, but it could very well decide for price-conscious buyers.'

Trump's trade deal with the EU: What it means for your wallet
Imported cars, pharmaceuticals, apparel and more could grow more expensive in the months to come as the United States imposes a 15% tariff on most imports from the European Union. Analysts have labeled the agreement, announced July 27, as a win for President Donald Trump, whose administration had been working to complete deals by a self-imposed Aug. 1 deadline. U.S. stocks opened mostly higher on July 28, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq reaching record highs after Trump announced a tariff far below the 30% rate threatened earlier in the month. But for U.S. consumers, even the reduced tariff is expected to spur higher prices. The Yale Budget Lab estimates that Trump's tariffs, including the new rate for EU imports, would raise prices by 1.8% in the short run, the equivalent of an average household income loss of roughly $2,400. While the increase may sound insignificant, 'the Federal Reserve's inflation target is 2%. So we're talking about almost a year's worth of inflation above and beyond the inflation that we would've gotten anyways,' said Ernie Tedeschi, director of economics at the Yale Budget Lab. 'So that's meaningful.' Here are some of the sectors that could see higher prices in the months to come. European cars Automobiles, one of the EU's largest export sectors, will likely see some of the most noticeable price hikes, according to Gary Hufbauer, a nonresident senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics. While the 15% tariff is a relief from the current 27.5% rate, Hufbauer said the auto industry's margins are thin enough that EU companies won't want to absorb the higher cost. 'I suspect European auto prices sold in the U.S. will go up probably at least 10%,' he told USA TODAY. German Association of the Automotive Industry President Hildegard Müller warned the 15% tariff could cost the German automotive industry 'billions annually.' Already, Volkswagen has trimmed its full-year sales forecast after reporting a $1.5 billion hit from tariffs over the first half of the year. Automobile price hikes will likely vary across European makes and models, according to Tedeschi, since many already operate factories in North America. That means trade deals with Canada and Mexico could also influence pricing. 'Consumers should keep an eye out for rising prices for European car imports, but they should not assume that all European brands are going to go up in price because of how complicated the supply chain is,' he said, adding that he expects to see price increases tied to the new EU tariffs play out this summer and fall. What were the EU tariffs before? What to know after trade deal Furniture Furniture is another sector that could get hit by tariffs, according to Stephen Brown, Capital Economics' deputy chief North America economist. The Swedish company IKEA, for instance, relies on China, Poland, Italy, Germany and Sweden to supply 'the majority' of products, according to its website. The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but Inter IKEA ‒ which produces IKEA furniture ‒ told Reuters in November that just 10% of the products it sells in the U.S. are made in the region. 'Unless they find somewhere else to import from or move around their supply chain, furniture prices ... could see some effects,' Brown said. Pharmaceuticals While certain sectors like wine and spirits appear to still be under negotiation, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said pharmaceuticals will be covered by the 15% tariff, with certain generic drugs not subject to tariffs. The EU is behind about 60% of pharmaceutical imports to the U.S., according to Reuters, making them the largest European export to the U.S. by value. But Brown noted that pharmaceutical companies may be able to more easily shift production to the U.S. compared to other industries. For instance, the Danish manufacturer behind the GLP-1s Wegovy and Ozempic, Novo Nordisk, already has a presence in North Carolina and has plans to expand. 'Although there could be some short-term price increases, those might not be as durable as they are for other products,' Brown said. Additionally, consumers may not pick up on the industry's price hikes if their insurance covers the imported drug. Luxury items Luxury items like imported designer handbags and apparel could also see higher prices, as well as imported food. 'The difference between China and Europe, in terms of tariffs, is that the tariffs on China increase what people buy in Walmart and Target. The tariffs on European imports will mainly hit what people buy at Whole Foods and high-end retail stores,' said Hufbauer of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. He noted that the companies behind luxury goods tend to have higher margins, though, and may be more willing to absorb some of the higher costs tied to tariffs. Machinery Machinery and appliances are also major exports from the EU, accounting for roughly 20% of U.S. imports from the EU in 2021, according to the Commerce Department. While consumers won't buy machinery directly, experts warn the higher prices could eventually trickle down as manufacturers adjust to higher costs. 'These are not necessarily products that immediately or directly impact the consumers, but they can indirectly affect consumers, especially after many years,' Tedeschi said.

DOE Wooing U.S. Firms To Create Nuclear Fuel Production Lines
A look inside the fuel element storage pool in a German nuclear power plant. w The U.S. government has launched an experiment for domestic companies to create and operate commercial nuclear fuel production lines to feed at least three new reactors by next year. The U.S. Department of Energy is calling its new effort to create a private-industry nuclear fuel supply chain the 'Fuel Line Pilot Program.' The new effort was announced July 15 by Energy Secretary Chris Wright. 'America has the resources and the expertise to lead the world in nuclear energy development, but we need secure domestic supply chains to fuel this rapidly growing energy source and achieve a true nuclear energy renaissance,' Wright noted in a press statement. 'The Trump Administration is accelerating innovation, not regulation, and leveraging partnerships with the private sector to safely fuel and test new reactor designs that will unleash more reliable and affordable energy for American consumers.' DOE's invitation to interested U.S. companies took the official form of a 'Request for Application' in the fuel line pilot project. Qualified U.S. companies have until Aug. 15 to submit initial applications to the DOE's contracting office in Idaho. Also located there in Idaho Falls is the DOE's Idaho National Laboratory where experiments are taking place to develop a microreactor in a project called MARVEL that stands for 'Microreactor Applications Research Validation.' Rendering of MARVEL Microreactor. The nuclear fuel line project objective is for companies to product commercial fuel for nuclear reactors using the DOE's authorization process that would provide federal oversight. The pilot project will assist the federal government with research and development as well as a demonstrate what can be achieved. 'Applicants will be responsible for all costs associated with the construction, operation, and decommissioning of an advanced nuclear fuel line, as well as the procurement of all nuclear material feedstock,' DOE noted. Once successful, this nuclear fuel made in the U.S. would 'help end America's reliance on foreign sources of enriched uranium and critical materials, while opening the door for private sector investment in America's nuclear renaissance,' according to the DOE. The DOE's application request specifies that an acceptable advanced nuclear fuel line must have: 'The value proposition for applicants is twofold: DOE authorization will (1) unlock the next level of private funding; and (2) provide a fast track to an NRC license, and hence, commercialization for authorized fuel fabrication lines,' states the DOE's 14-page application request. The nuclear fuel supply chain project was launched to support another recent DOE initiative to spur commercialization of new reactors. In June, Wright announced a new pilot program to accelerate the testing of advanced reactor designs. These operations would be authorized by DOE in locations outside the confines of DOE national laboratories (where current experiments are taking place in sites operating under U.S. government top secret protocols). The DOE is currently reviewing applications from qualified U.S. reactor companies. The agency intends to select at least three advanced reactor designs having 'a reasonable chance to operate' and achieve criticality by next July 4, noted a June 18 announcement for the 'DOE Pilot Reactor Program.' The federal government has embarked on a series of actions to revive nuclear power and expand its role in private industry, while also pushing to develop and deploy energy-hungry AI applications throughout the nation.
