Range Rover & Defender Section 179 Business Tax Deductions in Maryland

If you are a business owner in Maryland looking to significantly reduce your tax liability this year, the IRS Section 179 tax code is your most powerful tool. For 2026, current federal tax laws allow qualifying businesses to deduct up to the full purchase price of eligible luxury SUVs used for business purposes.

At Land Rover West Columbia, our new vehicle inventory features the most iconic “heavy” SUVs that meet the 6,000 lbs. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) requirement for accelerated depreciation.


Qualifying Models for 100% Federal Deduction

To qualify for the most substantial tax advantages, a vehicle must have a GVWR exceeding 6,000 lbs. Because they are built for rugged capability and professional-grade performance, the following models typically qualify for the full Section 179 deduction and 100% Bonus Depreciation:

  • The New Range Rover: The pinnacle of refined business travel and executive presence.
  • The Defender 90, 110, & 130: Unstoppable capability for your company’s most demanding tasks.
  • Range Rover Sport & Land Rover Discovery: Versatile performance meets professional utility.

Why 2026 is Different: Under the latest federal guidelines, 100% Bonus Depreciation has been restored. If you use your vehicle 100% for business, you can potentially write off the entire cost of a new Range Rover or Defender in the very first year of ownership.


Maryland State Tax Considerations

While federal law offers aggressive depreciation, it is important to note that Maryland “decouples” from federal bonus depreciation. For your MD state filing, you will still benefit from a standard depreciation schedule and a state-level Section 179 limit of $25,000. This dual-layered benefit—massive federal savings and steady state deductions—makes a Land Rover one of the smartest investments for Maryland entrepreneurs in 2026.
