This bill would change federal tax rules so that financing for certain trailers and campers counts as “floor plan financing” for tax purposes. In simple terms, it would treat some towable trailers and campers used for recreation, camping, or seasonal living the same way as other inventory-financing items under the tax code. The goal is to give these products the same tax treatment as similar vehicles and equipment, starting with tax years after December 31, 2024.
- The change applies only to trailers and campers designed for temporary living quarters.
- They must be made for recreational, camping, or seasonal use.
- They must be designed to be towed by, or attached to, a motor vehicle.
- The new tax rule would apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
Official Summaries
Travel Trailer and Camper Tax Parity Act
This bill expands the exclusion of interest on floor plan financing from the limit on the tax deduction for business interest expenses to include interest on floor plan financing of certain non-motorized, towable campers and trailers.
Under current law, the tax deduction for business interest expenses is generally limited to 30% of adjusted taxable income. (Some exceptions apply.) However, under current law, interest on floor plan financing (financing used to acquire inventory for sale or lease) of motorized vehicles (e.g., self-propelled vehicles designed to transport people) is excluded from the limit on the tax deduction for business interest expenses.
Under the bill, the exclusion of interest on floor plan financing from the limit on the tax deduction for business interest expenses is expanded to include interest on floor plan financing of any camper or trailer designed to (1) provide temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, or seasonal use; and (2) be towed by, or affixed to, a motor vehicle.
