SECTION 1. PURPOSE

01. This revenue procedure provides: (1) limitations on depreciation deductions
for owners of passenger automobiles first placed in service by the taxpayer during
calendar year 2003, including special tables of limitations on depreciation deductions for
trucks and vans, and for passenger automobiles designed to be propelled primarily by
electricity and built by an original equipment manufacturer (electric automobiles); (2)
the amounts to be included in income by lessees of passenger automobiles first leased by
the taxpayer during calendar year 2003, including a separate table of inclusion amounts
for lessees of trucks and vans, and a separate table for lessees of electric automobiles; and
(3) the maximum allowable value of employer-provided passenger automobiles first
made available to employees for personal use in calendar year 2003 for which the vehicle
cents-per-mile valuation rule provided under § 1.61-21(e) of the Income Tax Regulations
may be applicable.

02. This revenue procedure also provides: (1) tables of dollar limitations on
depreciation deductions for owners of passenger automobiles to which the additional 30
percent first-year allowance for depreciation available under § 168(k)(1)(A) applies,
including special tables of limitations on depreciation deductions for qualifying trucks
and vans and for qualifying electric automobiles; (2) tables of dollar limitations on
depreciation deductions for owners of passenger automobiles to which the additional 50
percent first-year allowance for depreciation available under § 168(k)(4) applies,
including special tables of limitations on depreciation deductions for qualifying trucks
and vans and for qualifying electric automobiles; and (3) revised tables of dollar
limitations for passenger automobiles and electric automobiles that were placed in service
by the taxpayer during 2001 and 2002 and to which the additional 30 percent first-year
allowance for depreciation available under § 168(k)(1)(A) applies. For purposes of these
tables, the additional 30 percent or 50 percent first-year allowance does not apply if the
taxpayer has elected under § 168(k)(2)(C)(iii) not to take the additional allowance.
Similarly, the additional 50 percent first-year allowance does not apply if the taxpayer
has elected under § 168(k)(4)(E) to take the additional 30 percent allowance instead of
the additional 50 percent allowance.

03. The tables detailing these depreciation limitations and lessee inclusion
amounts reflect the automobile price inflation adjustments required by § 280F(d)(7). The

maximum allowable passenger automobile value for applying the vehicle cents-per-mile
valuation rule reflects the automobile price inflation adjustment of § 280F(d)(7) of the
Internal Revenue Code, as required by § 1.61-21(e)(1)(iii)(A).

SECTION 2. BACKGROUND

01. For owners of passenger automobiles, § 280F(a) imposes dollar limitations on
the depreciation deduction for the year that the passenger automobile is placed in service
by the taxpayer and each succeeding year. In the case of electric automobiles placed in
service after August 5, 1997, and before January 1, 2005, § 280F(a)(1)(C) requires
tripling of these limitation amounts. Section 280F(d)(7) requires the amounts allowable
as depreciation deductions to be increased by a price inflation adjustment amount for
passenger automobiles placed in service after 1988. The method of calculating this price
inflation amount for trucks and vans placed in service in or after calendar year 2003 uses
a different CPI "automobile component" (the "new trucks" component) than that used in
the price inflation amount calculation for other passenger automobiles (the "new cars"
component), resulting in somewhat higher depreciation deductions for trucks and vans.
This change reflects the higher rate of price inflation that trucks and vans have been
subject to since 1988. For purposes of this revenue procedure, the term "trucks and vans"
refers to passenger automobiles that are built on a truck chassis, including minivans and
sport utility vehicles (SUVs) that are built on a truck chassis.

02. Section 101 of the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of 2002, Pub. L.
No. 107-147, 116 Stat. 21 (March 9, 2002) added § 168(k) to the Code. Generally, §
168(k)(1)(A) provides an additional 30 percent first-year depreciation deduction for new
property acquired by the taxpayer after September 10, 2001, and before September 11,
2004 (subsequently extended to January 1, 2005), so long as no written binding contract
for the acquisition of the property existed prior to September 11, 2001. In the case of a
passenger automobile to which the 30 percent additional allowance applies (other than a
§ 168(k)(4) passenger automobile described in section 2.03 of this revenue procedure, or
a passenger automobile for which a taxpayer has made an election under §
168(k)(2)(C)(iii)), § 168(k)(2)(E) increases the first-year depreciation allowed under §
280F(a)(1)(A) by $4,600. For purposes of this revenue procedure, a passenger
automobile to which the additional 30 percent first-year allowance under § 168(k)(1)(A)
applies (other than a § 168(k)(4) passenger automobile described in section 2.03 of this
revenue procedure, or a passenger automobile for which a taxpayer has made an election
under § 168(k)(2)(C)(iii)) is referred to as a "§ 168(k)(1) passenger automobile".

03. Section 201 of the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003,
Pub. L. No. 108-27, 117 Stat. 752 (May 28, 2003) added § 168(k)(4) to the Code.
Section 168(k)(4)(A)(i) provides that § 168(k)(1) is applied by substituting "50 percent"
for "30 percent" for new property acquired by the taxpayer after May 5, 2003, and before
January 1, 2005, so long as no written binding contract for the acquisition of the property
existed prior to May 6, 2003. In the case of a passenger automobile to which the 50
percent additional allowance applies (or would apply but for an election under §
168(k)(4)(E)) and for which no election has been made under § 168(k)(2)(C)(iii), §

168(k)(4)(D) increases the first-year depreciation allowed under § 280F(a)(1)(A) by
$7,650. For purposes of this revenue procedure, a passenger automobile to which the
additional 50 percent first-year allowance under § 168(k)(4) applies (or would apply but
for an election under § 168(k)(4)(E)) and for which no election has been made under §
168(k)(2)(C)(iii) is referred to as a "§ 168(k)(4) passenger automobile".

04. For leased passenger automobiles, § 280F(c) requires a reduction in the
deduction allowed to the lessee of the passenger automobile. The reduction must be
substantially equivalent to the limitations on the depreciation deductions imposed on
owners of passenger automobiles. Under § 1.280F-7(a), this reduction requires the
lessees to include in gross income an inclusion amount determined by applying a formula
to the amount obtained from a table. There is a table for lessees of electric automobiles, a
table for lessees of trucks and vans, and a table for all other passenger automobiles. Each
table shows inclusion amounts for a range of fair market values for each tax year after the
passenger automobile is first leased. These tables should also be used by lessees of §
168(k)(1) passenger automobiles and § 168(k)(4) passenger automobiles.

05. For passenger automobiles (including trucks, vans, and electric automobiles)
first provided by employers to employees that meet the requirements of § 1.61-21(e)(1),
the value to the employee of the use of the passenger automobile may be determined
under the vehicle cents-per-mile valuation rule of § 1.61-21(e). Section 1.61-
21(e)(1)(iii)(A) provides that for a passenger automobile first made available after 1988
to any employee of the employer for personal use, the value of the use of the passenger
automobile may not be determined under the vehicle cents-per-mile valuation rule for a
calendar year if the fair market value of the passenger automobile (determined pursuant
to § 1.61-21(d)(5)(i) through (iv)) on the first date the passenger automobile is made
available to the employee exceeds $12,800 as adjusted by § 280F(d)(7).

SECTION 3. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE

01. The limitations on depreciation deductions in section 4.02(2) of this revenue
procedure apply to passenger automobiles (other than leased passenger automobiles) that
are placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003, and continue to apply for
each tax year that the passenger automobile remains in service.

02. The tables in section 4.03 of this revenue procedure apply to leased passenger
automobiles for which the lease term begins during calendar year 2003. Lessees of such
passenger automobiles must use these tables to determine the inclusion amount for each
tax year during which the passenger automobile is leased. See Rev. Proc. 2002-14, 2002-
1 C.B. 450, for passenger automobiles first leased before January 1, 2003.

03. The maximum fair market value figure in section 4.04(2) of this revenue
procedure applies to employer-provided passenger automobiles first made available to
any employee for personal use in calendar year 2003. See Rev. Proc. 2002-14 for the
maximum fair market value figure for passenger automobiles first made available before
January 1, 2003.

04. The revised limitations on depreciation deductions in section 4.05(2) of this
revenue procedure apply to § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles placed in service by the
taxpayer during 2001 and 2002. The tables in section 4.05(2) of this revenue procedure
amplify both Rev. Proc. 2001-19, 2001-1 C.B. 732, and Rev. Proc 2002-14 by providing
tables for § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles to which those revenue procedures apply.

SECTION 4. APPLICATION

01. In General.

(1) Limitations on Depreciation Deductions for Certain Automobiles. The
limitations on depreciation deductions for passenger automobiles placed in service by the
taxpayer for the first time during calendar year 2003 are found in Tables 1 through 9 in
section 4.02(2) of this revenue procedure. Table 1 of this revenue procedure provides
limitations on depreciation deductions for a passenger automobile (other than a truck,
van, electric automobile, § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile, or § 168(k)(4) passenger
automobile). Table 2 of this revenue procedure provides limitations on depreciation
deductions for a § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile (other than a truck, van, or electric
automobile). Table 3 of this revenue procedure provides limitations on depreciation
deductions for a § 168(k)(4) passenger automobile (other than a truck, van, or electric
automobile). Table 4 of this revenue procedure provides limitations on depreciation
deductions for a truck or van (other than a § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile or §
168(k)(4) passenger automobile). Table 5 of this revenue procedure provides limitations
on depreciation deductions for a truck or van that is a § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile.
Table 6 of this revenue procedure provides limitations on depreciation deductions for a
truck or van that is a § 168(k)(4) passenger automobile. Table 7 of this revenue
procedure provides limitations on depreciation deductions for an electric automobile
(other than a § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile or § 168(k)(4) passenger automobile).
Table 8 of this revenue procedure provides limitations on depreciation deductions for an
electric automobile that is a § 168(k)(1) passenger automobile. Table 9 of this revenue
procedure provides limitations on depreciation deductions for an electric automobile that
is a § 168(k)(4) passenger automobile.

(2) Inclusions in Income of Lessees of Passenger Automobiles. A
taxpayer first leasing a passenger automobile during calendar year 2003 must determine
the inclusion amount that is added to gross income using the tables in section 4.03 of this
revenue procedure. The inclusion amount is determined using Table 10 in the case of a
passenger automobile (other than a truck, van, or electric automobile), Table 11 in the
case of a truck or van, and Table 12 in the case of an electric automobile. In addition, the
procedures of § 1.280F-7(a) must be followed.

(3) Maximum Automobile Value for Using the Cents-per-mile Valuation
Rule. An employer providing a passenger automobile for the first time in calendar year
2003 for the personal use of any employee may determine the value of the use of the
passenger automobile by using the cents-per-mile valuation rule in § 1.61-21(e) if the fair

market value of the passenger automobile does not exceed the amount specified in
section 4.04(2) of this revenue procedure. If the fair market value of the passenger
automobile exceeds the amount specified in section 4.04(2) of this revenue procedure, the
employer may determine the value of the use of the passenger automobile under the
general valuation rules of § 1.61-21(b) or under the special valuation rules of § 1.61-
21(d) (Automobile lease valuation) or § 1.61-21(f) (Commuting valuation) if the
applicable requirements are met.

(4) Limitations on Depreciation Deductions for Certain Passenger
Automobiles Placed in Service in 2001 or 2002. Depreciation deductions with respect to
§ 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles placed in service during calendar year 2001 or 2002
are limited to the amounts set forth in Tables 13 through 16 of section 4.05(2) of this
revenue procedure.

02. Limitations on Depreciation Deductions for Certain Automobiles.

(1) Amount of the Inflation Adjustment. Under
§ 280F(d)(7)(B)(i), the automobile price inflation adjustment for any calendar year is the
percentage (if any) by which the CPI automobile component for October of the preceding
calendar year exceeds the CPI automobile component for October 1987. The term "CPI
automobile component" is defined in § 280F(d)(7)(B)(ii) as the "automobile component"
of the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers published by the Department of
Labor (the CPI). The new car component of the CPI was 115.2 for October 1987 and
136.7 for October 2002. The October 2002 index exceeded the October 1987 index by
21.5. The Service has, therefore, determined that the automobile price inflation
adjustment for 2003 for passenger automobiles (other than trucks and vans) is 18.66
percent (21.5/115.2 x 100%). This adjustment is applicable to all passenger automobiles
(other than trucks and vans) that are first placed in service in calendar year 2003. The
dollar limitations in § 280F(a) must therefore be multiplied by a factor of 0.1866, and the
resulting increases, after rounding to the nearest $100, are added to the 1988 limitations
to give the depreciation limitations applicable to passenger automobiles (other than
trucks, vans, and electric automobiles) for calendar year 2003. To determine the dollar
limitations applicable to an electric automobile first placed in service during calendar
year 2003, the dollar limitations in § 280F(a) are tripled in accordance with §
280F(a)(1)(C) and are then multiplied by a factor of 0.1866; the resulting increases, after
rounding to the nearest $100, are added to the tripled 1988 limitations to give the
depreciation limitations for calendar year 2003. To determine the dollar limitations
applicable to trucks and vans first placed in service during calendar year 2003, the new
truck component of the CPI is used instead of the new car component. The new truck
component of the CPI was 112.4 for October 1987 and 147.5 for October 2002. The
October 2002 index exceeded the October 1987 index by 35.1. The Service has,
therefore, determined that the automobile price inflation adjustment for 2003 for trucks
and vans is 31.23 percent (35.1/112.4 x 100%). This adjustment is applicable to all
trucks and vans that are first placed in service in calendar year 2003. The dollar
limitations in § 280F(a) must therefore be multiplied by a factor of 0.3123, and the

resulting increases, after rounding to the nearest $100, are added to the 1988 limitations
to give the depreciation limitations applicable to trucks and vans.

(2) Amount of the Limitation. For passenger automobiles placed in service by the
taxpayer in calendar year 2003, Tables 1 through 9 contain the dollar amount of the
depreciation limitation for each tax year. Use Table 1 for passenger automobiles (other
than trucks, vans, electric automobiles, § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles, and §
168(k)(4) passenger automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year
2003. Use Table 2 for § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles (other than trucks, vans, and
electric automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use Table
3 for § 168(k)(4) passenger automobiles (other than trucks, vans, and electric
automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use Table 4 for
trucks and vans (other than § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles and § 168(k)(4) passenger
automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use Table 5 for
trucks or vans that are § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles placed in service by the
taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use Table 6 for trucks or vans that are § 168(k)(4)
passenger automobiles placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use
Table 7 for electric automobiles (other than § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles and §
168(k)(4) passenger automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year
2003. Use Table 8 for electric automobiles that are § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles
placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year 2003. Use Table 9 for electric
automobiles that are § 168(k)(4) passenger automobiles placed in service by the taxpayer
in calendar year 2003.

04. Maximum Automobile Value for Using the Cents-per-mile Valuation Rule.

(1) Amount of Adjustment. Under § 1.61-21(e)(1)(iii)(A), the
limitation on the fair market value of an employer-provided passenger automobile first
made available to any employee for personal use after 1988 is to be adjusted in
accordance with § 280F(d)(7). Accordingly, the adjustment for any calendar year is the
percentage (if any) by which the CPI automobile component for October of the preceding
calendar year exceeds the CPI automobile component for October 1987. See, section
4.02(1) of this revenue procedure. The new car component of the CPI was 115.2 for
October 1987 and 136.7 for October 2002. The October 2002 index exceeded the
October 1987 index by 21.5. The Service has, therefore, determined that the adjustment
for 2003 is 18.66 percent (21.5/115.2 x 100%). This adjustment is applicable to all
employer-provided passenger automobiles first made available to any employee for
personal use in calendar year 2003. The maximum fair market value specified in § 1.61-
21(e)(1)(iii)(A) must therefore be multiplied by a factor of 0.1866, and the resulting
increase, after rounding to the nearest $100, is added to $12,800 to give the maximum
value for calendar year 2003.

(2) The Maximum Automobile Value. For passenger automobiles first made
available in calendar year 2003 to any employee of the employer for personal use, the
vehicle cents-per-mile valuation rule may be applicable if the fair market value of the
passenger automobile on the date it is first made available does not exceed $15,200.

.05 Revised Limitation Amounts for § 168(k)(1) Passenger Automobiles Placed
in Service During 2001 and 2002.

(1) Calculation of the Revised Amount. The revised depreciation limits
provided in this section for § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles (other than electric
automobiles) were calculated by augmenting the existing limitations on the first year
allowance in Rev. Proc. 2001-19 (for passenger automobiles placed in service in calendar
year 2001) and in Rev. Proc. 2002-14 (for passenger automobiles placed in service in
calendar year 2002) by $4,600. Similarly, the revised depreciation limits provided in this
section for electric automobiles that are § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles were
calculated by augmenting the existing limitations on the first year allowance in Rev.
Proc. 2001-19 (for electric automobiles placed in service in calendar year 2001) and in
Rev. Proc. 2002-14 (for electric automobiles placed in service in calendar year 2002) by
$13,800 ($4,600 tripled).

(2) Amount of the Revised Limitation. For § 168(k)(1) passenger
automobiles (other than electric automobiles) placed in service by the taxpayer in
calendar year 2001, Table 13 of this revenue procedure contains the revised dollar
amount of the depreciation limitations for each tax year. For electric automobiles that are
§ 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles placed in service by the taxpayer in calendar year
2001, Table 14 of this revenue procedure contains these revised amounts. For §
168(k)(1) passenger automobiles (other than electric automobiles) placed in service by
the taxpayer in calendar year 2002, Table 15 of this revenue procedure contains the

revised dollar amount of the depreciation limitations for each tax year. For electric
automobiles that are § 168(k)(1) passenger automobiles placed in service by the taxpayer
in calendar year 2002, Table 16 of this revenue procedure contains these revised
amounts.
