Tax-exempt financing ***

Tax-exempt financing (also known as a tax-exempt installment purchase contract) allows a public entity, municipality or political subdivision that can issue tax-exempt securities to purchase equipment by making payments over the useful life of the asset. Benefits include low-cost, tax-exempt capital, lower interest rates than other types of commercial financing and up to 100% financing with no down payment.

** Actual rates, terms, down payment, advance and program eligibility will be determined by Daimler Truck Financial’s credit team based on creditworthiness of the customer.

*** Daimler Truck Financial does not endorse or provide to any of its dealers, customers or potential customers any particular tax or accounting guidance or strategy. Always consult with your accountant or tax professional for advice.
