What is EV Tax?
Internal Revenue Code Section 30D provides a tax credit to any person who purchased a qualifying EV during the year.
The credit provides up to $7,500. But the Internal Revenue Service Form 8936 will calculate how much money you will receive back.
The new bill has new changes.
The bill has proposed to increase this amount.
The bill also has made it refundable from non-refundable. That complies, that you would have some dollars in your pocket if you chose to buy an EV.
The EV’s eligibility
There are certain criteria necessary to qualify your purchase to earn the tax credit.
The bill also makes a new change here by qualifying a second-hand EV for the tax credit. Although you can’t claim the credit if you lease an EV.
Those who buy an EV from an automaker will not be eligible for the tax credit.
This means that ‘Tesla’ would not qualify the criteria.
The changes are not definite. They might increase in the near future. For now, the Build Back Better has to go through the Senate and pass for the changes to come across.
