Tax Advantages

Land Rover for Business

WHEN USED PREDOMINANTLY FOR BUSINESS, OWNING A RANGE ROVER, RANGE ROVER SPORT OR LR4 CAN INCREASE YOUR BUSINESS’S BOTTOM LINE

TAX ADVANTAGES

BECAUSE RANGE ROVER, RANGE ROVER SPORT AND LR4 HAVE GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATINGS GREATER THAN 6,000 POUNDS,** THEY QUALIFY FOR AN ACCELERATED TAX DEPRECIATION SCHEDULE. THEY CAN BE DEPRECIATED UP TO 60 PERCENT IN THE FIRST YEAR, AND FULLY DEPRECIATED IN 6 YEARS.

THAT’S A SIGNIFICANT ADVANTAGE COMPARED TO SIMILARLY PRICED LUXURY CARS.
