Investment Tax Credits (ITC)
Investment Tax Credit (ITC) which is a federal tax incentive. For systems done by 2032, they are eligible for a 30% ITC based on the cost of the project based on the Inflation Reduction Act signed in 2022 (1MM Project = $300K worth of dollar-for-dollar tax credits). Also, per the Inflation Reduction Act, non-profit companies will receive a check for the value of what the tax credits would be. This drastically shortens the payback period for these projects.
Bonus Depreciation
Bonus depreciation is federal incentive that allows a company 80% depreciation in the first year, with the remaining 20% being applied to the 5-year MACRS schedule. Typically, this is done over the useful life of an asset. Allowing a company to do this is a large tax shelter.
Increased CAP Rate
