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.

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.

  1. Limitations on Depreciation De- ductions 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,

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

  1. Maximum Automobile Value for Us- ing 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.

  1. 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
