Evidence
SEC. 70203, 'NO TAX ON CAR LOAN INTEREST,' amends Internal Revenue Code section 163(h) to create a deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest for taxable years 2025 through 2028, with the deduction applying only to vehicles with final assembly in the United States.
Treasury states that section 70203 of Public Law 119-21 provides a newly allowable income tax deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest and that the statute applies to vehicles with final assembly in the United States.
Assessments
Delivered. Moreno introduced the USA CAR Act in the 119th Congress to allow a deduction for auto-loan interest on U.S.-made vehicles, directly matching the promise to introduce legislation. The same policy substance was then enacted during his current Senate term in Public Law 119-21, section 70203, creating a deduction for qualified passenger vehicle loan interest limited to vehicles with final assembly in the United States.
