On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed the bipartisan Inflation Reduction Act (“IRA”) of 2022 into law. The bill includes sweeping legislation to create more incentives for green energy production, storage, and use through federal income tax credits and deductions. The IRA allows government and not for profit entities to cash in on certain credits, and it increases the payroll tax offset election for start-up companies.

Brooks Nelson and Sarah McGregor are joined by Ron Wainwright, Partner in our Tax Credits and Incentives practice, to dive deep into the tax implications that are included in the IRA.

This podcast covered the various tax credits, new and enhanced, for commercial vehicles, monetizing credits, research and development (“R&D”) for start-up companies, and much more.

  • 2:46 – Extending existing credits
  • 8:55 – Introducing a few new credits
  • 13:53 – Commercial vehicle credits
