Thinking about buying a new car in 2025? There’s exciting news for San Antonio drivers. The recently signed “Big Beautiful Bill” now lets you deduct up to $10,000 in interest annually on new car loans—if your vehicle qualifies. If you’re shopping for a new Toyota Tundra or Sequoia, this tax break could make a major difference when you file your return next year.
This tax deduction helps hardworking Texans manage rising costs, especially in a growing city like ours. Whether you’re commuting via Loop 410, dropping kids off at MacArthur High, or heading out to the Hill Country, Universal Toyota is here to help you understand how this tax change benefits you.
What is the Big Beautiful Bill Vehicle Tax Incentive?
The Big Beautiful Bill Act includes a new tax provision allowing car buyers to deduct up to $10,000 in vehicle loan interest each year, starting in 2025. Here’s what San Antonio buyers need to know:
- Only applies to new vehicles purchased—not leased—after January 1, 2025.
- Vehicles must be assembled in the United States.
- Income limits apply:
- Single filers under $100,000 = full deduction
- Joint filers under $200,000 = full deduction
- Phases out at $150,000 (single) or $250,000 (joint)
- Expires at the end of 2028, unless renewed.

Eligible Toyota Models Built in San Antonio
To qualify for the deduction, your vehicle must be assembled in the United States. That makes Universal Toyota a great place to shop, especially since both the Toyota Tundra and Sequoia are manufactured right here in San Antonio.
- Toyota Tundra: A rugged, full-size truck ready for hauling, work, and family life in San Antonio. Built just off South Zarzamora Street.
- Toyota Sequoia: A large, reliable SUV with room for everyone—ideal for long drives to Corpus Christi or navigating Loop 1604 traffic.
Note: The Toyota Tacoma is no longer assembled in San Antonio and therefore does not qualify for this incentive.
