Tax Incentives

A Land Rover is a great addition to any business.  Not only is it an exclusive vehicle that would make any small business owner proud, but it is also immensely capable and rewarding to drive.  And with its tax deduction advantages, it can also be rewarding to your bottom line.*

Since all new Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and LR4 models have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)** of over 6,000 pounds, they qualify for an accelerated tax depreciation schedule.  When they are used for business, they can be depreciated at a faster rate than luxury cars.

The tax depreciation comparisons on the below are designed for business owners who purchase a new Range Rover, Range Rover Sport or LR4 before December 31, 2009, and use their vehicles 100 percent for business.  Please see your tax advisor for more information.

When used for business purposes, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and LR3 models offer significant tax advantages in comparison to similarly priced luxury cars.
