Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has hailed President Donald Trump's decision to enable a deduction of up to $10,000 on auto loan interest, unveiled as part of the latter's Big Beautiful Bill last year.
‘Putting Money Back In Pockets,' Says Scott Bessent
In a post on the social media platform X on Wednesday, Bessent shared that the Treasury was implementing Trump's "No Tax on American Car Loan Interest.” He called this a move that would enable "putting money back in the pockets of working and middle-class families."

Bessent shared that eligible taxpayers who own vehicles made in the U.S. between 2025 and 2028 would be able to deduct up to $10,000 per year in auto loan interest. He added that the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) were issuing rules to help owners understand the deductions.
"This deduction helps lower monthly costs and makes car ownership more affordable," Bessent said, reiterating that the deduction only applies to vehicles assembled in the U.S.

Trump's Tax Bill
The post comes as Trump had touted his tax bill, enabling affordability for consumers. "We’re giving them a deduction on the interest if they buy a nice Tesla car," but then added that the deduction wasn't limited to Tesla Inc.(NASDAQ:TSLA) and could be enjoyed on other manufacturers' vehicles as well.
The deductions are valid for singles with income up to $100,000 annually and $200,000 annually for couples. Should the income exceed $100,000, the amount that can be deducted decreases by $200 for every $1,000 above the limit.
