The IRS is considering a new tax credit for business owners who purchase an electric vehicle. While the market for electrified commercial vehicles has lagged behind that for light-duty vehicles, recent improvements in battery performance and lower costs make electrification more attractive. Business owners can claim up to $40,000 in tax breaks for purchasing EVs for their fleets. Until the IRS provides guidance on the new rules, some aspects of this tax break will remain unclear.
MHD EV tax credit
The MHD EV tax credit is designed to encourage small fleets to adopt electric vehicles. Small MHD vehicles, which cost less to buy and operate than large trucks, are also more cost-effective, especially in terms of electrical costs. The credit is fully reimbursed for the purchase of electric vehicles.
While the tax credit is not permanent, it will likely continue for the foreseeable future. As more manufacturers produce and sell electric vehicles, the credit is likely to increase. However, it is important to note that available credits are subject to a phase-out structure. Once a manufacturer has sold 200,000 electric vehicles in the U.S., it will no longer qualify for the credit. Therefore, it is important to know if your vehicle qualifies for the tax credit, and to take advantage of it while you can.
While the existing EV tax credit is still available, the current legislation will make it harder to qualify for it. While President Joe Biden proposed a higher credit amount, he also included a cap on the number of vehicles eligible for the credit. However, this limit was later dropped. Under the current legislation, the maximum credit for an EV is $7,500. However, the credit is only available to people who purchase an electric vehicle in the U.S., and it must be manufactured in the U.S.
The Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources offers a rebate program for business owners that purchase a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. The program offers a rebate of up to $1,500 or $2,500 for electric vehicles, and has special incentives for businesses that purchase more than one. In addition to the rebate, eligible businesses can access HOV lanes with their plug-in vehicles. All they need to do is display a permit. In addition, Pepco and Baltimore Gas and Electric Company offer time-of-use charging rates, which lower electric costs.
Infrastructure tax credit
Business owners can take advantage of a new tax break that provides up to $40,000 in rebates for new electric vehicles. The new bill limits the credit to $7,500 for smaller vehicles and $40,000 for larger ones. The tax credit is available for a 10-year period, ending in 2032, and applies to commercial and industrial electric vehicles and “mobile machinery.” The credit can be claimed as long as the new vehicle is used for business purposes.
Business owners can apply for the new tax credit starting next year. The process is supposed to be easier for them than the consumer tax credit. It’s important to note that the new tax credit for electric vehicles will be easier to qualify for than the consumer tax credit. The incentives for buying electric vehicles are part of the Inflation Reduction Act, which established and amended the tax breaks for the vehicles. The tax breaks are tied to income and car-specific requirements, so businesses are expected to qualify for them with ease.
The new tax credits will also benefit companies that have been selling electric vehicles for years. These businesses are likely to qualify for the credit because they reorganized their supply chains.
Requirements for eligibility
The new legislation aims to encourage the development of clean vehicles made in the U.S. This includes electric, hybrid, and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. While the tax credit can be a valuable incentive for business owners, there are a few rules that must be met in order to qualify.
According to the new law, business owners can take advantage of the electric vehicle tax credit beginning next year. This business tax credit is expected to be easier to qualify for than the consumer version. The new law amended the existing tax breaks for electric vehicles to provide additional incentives for businesses to buy electric vehicles. The incentives are tied to taxable income, which must be under $150,000 for a single filer and $300,000 for a joint filer.
To qualify for the new tax credit, electric vehicles must contain battery components produced in North America. The percentage of battery components manufactured and assembled in North America is expected to increase from 50 percent to 100 percent after 2024. This is to prevent foreign entities from taking advantage of the tax credit.
The new tax credit is not available for used vehicles. To qualify for this credit, business owners must buy a brand new electric vehicle with a model year at least two years before the tax year in which the vehicle was purchased. The credit amount is the lower of $4,000 or 30 percent of the vehicle’s selling price. This credit is valid for vehicles purchased in 2023 through 2032.
