What Is Section 179?

Section 179 is a provision of the IRS tax code that allows eligible businesses to deduct the cost of certain qualifying business property, including vehicles, rather than recovering the cost solely through depreciation over multiple years.

For the 2026 tax year, businesses can elect to deduct up to $2,560,000 in qualifying property purchases, subject to applicable limitations.

The deduction begins to phase out when total qualifying property purchases exceed $4,090,000 during the tax year.

For business owners considering a Land Rover or Range Rover SUV, this provision may provide an opportunity to reduce taxable business income while investing in a vehicle that supports both professional responsibilities and everyday driving needs.

2026 Section 179 Deduction Limits

$2,560,000 Maximum Section 179 Deduction
$4,090,000 Investment Phaseout Threshold
$32,000 Heavy SUV Section 179 Deduction Limit

These limits apply to the applicable tax year and are subject to additional IRS rules, including business income limitations and vehicle-specific restrictions.

100% Bonus Depreciation Is Back

An Additional Opportunity for Qualifying Business Vehicle Purchases

2026 Tax Advantage: Recent federal tax legislation restored 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.

This provision allows eligible businesses to potentially deduct 100% of the adjusted basis of qualifying property in the year it is placed in service.

For business owners considering an eligible Land Rover or Range Rover vehicle in 2026, this may provide an additional tax-planning opportunity beyond the traditional Section 179 deduction.

How Does It Work?

Section 179 and bonus depreciation are two separate tax provisions that can work together under applicable IRS rules.

Section 179

Allows eligible businesses to elect an immediate deduction for qualifying property, subject to annual limits and other restrictions.

Bonus Depreciation

Allows eligible businesses to deduct an additional percentage of the remaining qualifying basis in the first year. For qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025, the applicable rate is generally 100%.

The availability and amount of any deduction depend on the vehicle, acquisition date, business use, ownership structure, and other applicable tax rules.

What Land Rover Vehicles May Qualify?

Refined Luxury. Exceptional Capability. Potential Business Tax Advantages.

Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles are recognized for their combination of premium craftsmanship, advanced technology, and exceptional versatility.

Certain models and configurations may also meet the weight requirements associated with favorable business vehicle depreciation treatment.

Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 6,000 pounds may qualify for certain Section 179 and bonus depreciation provisions.

Depending on model year, configuration, and manufacturer-rated specifications, vehicles worth evaluating may include:

Range Rover

Flagship luxury, sophisticated design, and exceptional comfort.

Range Rover Sport

Dynamic performance, premium appointments, and versatile capability.

Land Rover Defender

Distinctive design, rugged capability, and everyday versatility.

Land Rover Discovery

Spacious accommodations, adaptable seating, and practical luxury.

Important: Not every model or configuration necessarily meets the applicable weight requirements. Vehicle eligibility must be confirmed using the specific vehicle's manufacturer-rated GVWR and other applicable IRS criteria.

Our team at Land Rover Wichita can help you explore available inventory and review manufacturer specifications for vehicles you may wish to discuss with your tax professional.

Understanding the 6,000-Pound Rule

The IRS generally distinguishes between passenger vehicles and certain heavier vehicles when determining applicable depreciation limitations.

Vehicles with a GVWR greater than 6,000 pounds and not exceeding 14,000 pounds may fall into a category subject to special heavy SUV rules.

For qualifying heavy SUVs, the Section 179 deduction is limited to $32,000 for the 2026 tax year.

Additional depreciation, including bonus depreciation, may be available on the remaining eligible basis, subject to applicable limitations.

A vehicle exceeding 6,000 pounds GVWR does not automatically qualify for a particular deduction. Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle, its classification and configuration, qualifying business use, and other IRS requirements.

Does Your Business Qualify?

While individual circumstances vary, there are several important requirements businesses should understand when considering Section 179 and bonus depreciation.

1. Business Use

To qualify for Section 179 or bonus depreciation under the listed-property rules, a vehicle generally must be used more than 50% for qualified business purposes.

The deductible amount is generally based on the percentage of qualifying business use.

2. Purchase and Ownership

The vehicle must meet the applicable acquisition and ownership requirements. Certain new and qualifying used vehicles may be eligible.

Financing a qualifying Land Rover or Range Rover vehicle does not automatically disqualify it from depreciation deductions.

However, lease arrangements are subject to different tax rules.

3. Placed-in-Service Requirement

The vehicle must be placed in service for its intended business use during the applicable tax year.

For calendar-year businesses seeking a 2026 deduction, the vehicle generally must be placed in service by December 31, 2026.

Simply signing a purchase agreement or placing a deposit does not necessarily satisfy this requirement.

4. Business Income Limitations

Section 179 deductions are subject to a business taxable income limitation.

Your ability to claim the full deduction may depend on your business's financial circumstances.

Bonus depreciation is subject to separate rules.

5. Documentation

Maintain appropriate records documenting the vehicle purchase, business use, mileage, and other information required to support the deduction.

Always consult your tax professional to determine your eligibility and the appropriate deduction for your circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum Section 179 deduction for 2026?

For tax years beginning in 2026, the maximum Section 179 deduction is $2,560,000.

This amount begins to phase out when qualifying property purchases exceed $4,090,000.

The maximum Section 179 deduction for qualifying heavy SUVs is $32,000.

Additional restrictions and limitations may apply.

What is 100% bonus depreciation?

Bonus depreciation is a separate tax provision that allows businesses to deduct a percentage of the cost of qualifying property in its first year of service.

Under legislation enacted in 2025, 100% bonus depreciation was restored for qualifying property acquired and placed in service after January 19, 2025.

This means qualifying business vehicle purchases in 2026 may be eligible for a 100% first-year bonus depreciation deduction, subject to applicable IRS requirements and limitations.

Can I combine Section 179 and bonus depreciation?

Yes. Businesses may be able to use both provisions when purchasing qualifying property.

Generally, Section 179 is applied first, followed by bonus depreciation on the remaining eligible basis.

The actual deduction depends on the property's eligibility, applicable limitations, and the business's tax circumstances.

Which Land Rover or Range Rover models may qualify for Section 179?

Certain Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Defender, and Discovery models may meet the weight requirements associated with favorable business vehicle depreciation treatment.

However, eligibility varies by model year, configuration, and manufacturer-rated GVWR.

Our Land Rover Wichita team can help you review available vehicles and their specifications. Your tax professional should confirm eligibility before purchase.

Does a vehicle have to weigh more than 6,000 pounds to qualify?

No. Vehicles weighing less than 6,000 pounds may also qualify for certain depreciation deductions, although passenger vehicles are subject to separate annual depreciation limitations.

Vehicles exceeding 6,000 pounds GVWR may qualify for different treatment depending on their classification and configuration.

Can I purchase a pre-owned Land Rover and qualify?

Potentially, yes. Certain used vehicles may qualify for Section 179 and bonus depreciation.

Used property must meet applicable IRS requirements, including acquisition and related-party restrictions.

The vehicle generally must be new to the taxpayer for federal tax depreciation purposes.

Your tax professional can help determine whether a particular pre-owned vehicle qualifies.

Does financing a Land Rover affect eligibility?

Financing a vehicle does not automatically disqualify it from Section 179 or bonus depreciation.

Eligible businesses may be able to claim applicable depreciation deductions on a qualifying financed purchase, subject to the tax rules governing the vehicle and business.

Leasing is treated differently and generally does not qualify for the same vehicle-purchase deductions.

Do I need to use the vehicle exclusively for business?

Not necessarily.

However, vehicles subject to the listed-property rules generally must be used more than 50% for qualified business purposes to qualify for Section 179 or bonus depreciation.

If the vehicle is used for both business and personal purposes, the deductible amount is generally limited to the qualifying business-use percentage.

Does the vehicle need to be purchased before December 31, 2026?

For a calendar-year business seeking to claim a deduction for the 2026 tax year, the vehicle generally must be acquired and placed in service by December 31, 2026, subject to applicable acquisition rules.

A signed purchase agreement or deposit alone does not necessarily establish that a vehicle has been placed in service.

Businesses with fiscal tax years should consult their tax professional regarding their applicable deadline.

How do I know if a specific Land Rover qualifies?

Eligibility depends on the specific vehicle's manufacturer-rated specifications, configuration, acquisition details, and intended business use.

Our team at Land Rover Wichita can help you explore available inventory and identify vehicles for further consideration.

We recommend confirming the vehicle's eligibility with your CPA or qualified tax advisor before making a purchase decision.
