The Inflation Reduction Act has further incentivized the production and purchasing of hybrid or electric vehicles.
As the regulations have come out, some may be surprised to learn the $7500 credit all over TV is a bit misleading. The Anomaly Tax team has reviewed the regs and has determined the cleanest (no pun intended) way to get the full benefits is to qualify the vehicle for >50% business use!
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind:
Commercial Credit:
- No income limit or restriction
- Must be used PRIMARILY for business purposes
- MUST MUST MUST be purchased in the company's name WITH the company EIN. If this does not happen, you will not get the credit. The IRS tracks this.
- You will be eligible for bonus depreciation on the purchase price less the credit amount
Individual Credit:
- Various income-level phase-outs
- Strict manufacturing requirements in the US
- No depreciation
Check out the chart below for the vehicles that qualify!
