Can You Write Off Food Truck?
Short answer: Yes: a food truck and its kitchen build-out are depreciable business assets.
Section 179 and 100% bonus depreciation can apply; permits, propane, and commissary fees are ordinary expenses.
Records to keep: Keep a contemporaneous mileage log (date, miles, business purpose), business-use percentage, the purchase contract, and a photo of the door-jamb GVWR sticker.
