Webinar - Tax Optimization Through Clean Energy Tax Equity
The IRA created $500 billion in tax credits for renewable energy production through 2033
IRA tax credits can be purchased by US tax accounts to receive dollar-for-dollar offsetting to their federal tax liability
The offset applies for the years 2023 to 2033 and can be carried back 3 years for a refund from the IRS on paid taxes beginning with 2021
Tax Equity is a decades-old financial structure that has proven to amplify tax credit IRR by adding depreciation and project cash flows for investors. Tax Equity on clean energy assets was a $25 billion sector in 2022
Tax accounts eligible to capture this tax windfall include C Corporations with US federal tax liability and Investors with rental income from Real Estate and Leasing activities
Qualified projects that investors may expect to see include US-based Solar, Wind, Biomass, EVs, and others
