Download or read book Residential Energy Tax Credits written by Margot L. Crandall-hollick and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-10-22 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, taxpayers may be able to claim two tax credits for residential energy efficiency: one is scheduled to expire at the end of 2011, whereas the other is scheduled to expire at the end of 2016. The nonbusiness energy property tax credit (Internal Revenue Code (IRC) §25C) currently provides homeowners with a tax credit for investments in certain high-efficiency heating, cooling, and water-heating appliances, as well as tax credits for energy-efficient windows and doors. For installations made during 2011, the credit rate was 10%, with a maximum credit amount of $500. The credit available during 2011 was less than what had been available during 2009 and 2010, when taxpayers were allowed a 30% tax credit of up to $1,500 for making energy-efficiency improvements to their homes. The residential energy efficient property credit (IRC §25D), which provides a 30% tax credit for investments in properties that generate renewable energy, such as solar panels, is scheduled to remain available through 2016. Advances in energy efficiency have allowed per-capita residential energy use to remain relatively constant since the 1970s, even as demand for energy-using technologies has increased. Experts believe, however, that there is unrealized potential for further residential energy efficiency. One reason investment in these technologies might not be at optimal levels is that certain market failures result in energy prices that are too low. If energy is relatively inexpensive, consumers will not have a strong incentive to purchase a technology that will lower their energy costs. Tax credits are one policy option to potentially encourage consumers to invest in energy-efficiency technologies. Residential energy-efficiency tax credits were first introduced in the late 1970s, but were allowed to expire in 1985. Tax credits for residential energy efficiency were again enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58). These credits were expanded and extended as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA; P.L. 111-5). The Section 25C credit was again extended, at a reduced rate, and with a reduced cap, through 2011, as part of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 (P.L. 111-312). Although the purpose of residential energy-efficiency tax credits is to motivate additional energy efficiency investment, the amount of the investment resulting from these credits is unclear. Purchasers investing in energy-efficient property for other reasons—for example concern about the environment—would have invested in such property absent tax incentives, and hence stand to receive a windfall gain from the tax benefit. Further, the fact that the incentive is delivered as a nonrefundable credit limits the provision's ability to motivate investment for low- and middle income taxpayers with limited tax liability. The administration of residential energy-efficiency tax credits has also had compliance issues, as identified in a recent Treasury Department Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) report. There are various policy options available for Congress to consider regarding incentives for residential energy efficiency. One option is to let the existing tax incentives expire as scheduled. A second option would be to extend or modify the current tax incentives. S. 3521, the Family and Business Tax Cut Certainty Act of 2012, would extend the 25C credit for two years—2012 and 2013. Another option would be to replace the current tax credits with a grant or rebate program—the Home Star Energy Retrofit Act of 2010 (H.R. 5019 / S. 3177 in the 111th Congress), for example. Grants or rebates could be made more widely available, and not be limited to taxpayers with tax liability. Enacting a grant or rebate program, however, would have additional budgetary cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JCS-5-05. Joint Committee Print. Provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. Arranged in chronological order by the date each piece of legislation was signed into law. This document, prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation in consultation with the staffs of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance, provides an explanation of tax legislation enacted in the 108th Congress. The explanation follows the chronological order of the tax legislation as signed into law. For each provision, the document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date. Present law describes the law in effect immediately prior to enactment. It does not reflect changes to the law made by the provision or subsequent to the enactment of the provision. For many provisions, the reasons for change are also included. In some instances, provisions included in legislation enacted in the 108th Congress were not reported out of committee before enactment. For example, in some cases, the provisions enacted were included in bills that went directly to the House and Senate floors. As a result, the legislative history of such provisions does not include the reasons for change normally included in a committee report. In the case of such provisions, no reasons for change are included with the explanation of the provision in this document. In some cases, there is no legislative history for enacted provisions. For such provisions, this document includes a description of present law, explanation of the provision, and effective date, as prepared by the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation. In some cases, contemporaneous technical explanations of certain bills were prepared and published by the staff of the Joint Committee. In those cases, this document follows the technical explanations. Section references are to the Internal Revenue Code unless otherwise indicated.

Book excerpt: The 108th Congress is considering three bills to provide tax incentives to increase the supply of, and reduce the demand for, fossil fuels and electricity: the House version of H.R. 6, introduced as H.R. 1531 and approved by the House by a vote of 247-175 on April 11, 2003; the Senate version of H.R. 6, passed by the Senate on July 31, which is the same as the energy bill H.R. 4 approved by the Senate in 2002; and S.Amdt. 1424, a Senate Finance Committee (SFC) amendment to H.R. 6 that is a slightly modified version of S. 1149, the Energy Tax Incentives Act of 2003 approved by the SFC on May 23, 2003. Each of the three bills provides a ten-year tax cut of about $18 billion, although the mix of energy tax incentives differs. H.R. 6 as passed by the House provides about $18.2 billion of energy tax incentives and includes just under $0.1 billion ($100 million) of non-energy tax increases, or offsets. The apportionment of tax savings in the House-passed H.R. 6 among the three categories -- fossil fuels, energy efficiency, and alternative/renewable fuels -- is the same as the House bill in the last Congress (H.R. 4), but the absolute amounts of dollar cuts are much smaller. The Senate version of H.R. 6 is the same as the Senate version of H.R. 4, the omnibus energy measure approved by the Senate in 2002, but on which no conference agreement was reached. This version of H.R. 6 included about $13.2 billion in energy tax incentives over ten years, plus an additional $5.1 billion in energy tax cuts (or revenue losses) due to mandates that would have further reduced energy tax receipts: the renewable portfolio standard and the renewable fuels standard. S. 1149, which was approved by the Senate Finance Committee on April 2, 2003, but not included in the Senate version of H.R. 6, would provide about $19.5 billion in energy tax cuts, offset by about $5 billion of non-energy tax increases -- additional curbs on corporate tax shelters, limits on corporate and individual expatriates, and an extension of Internal Revenue Service user fees. Thus the net, ten-year tax cut under S. 1149 would be just over $14.6 billion. In general, the House version of H.R. 6 confers a larger tax cut, in both absolute and relative terms, for fossil fuels production -- particularly the oil and gas industry -- and for electricity restructuring (or the production of electricity), and a smaller tax cut for energy efficiency and renewable/alternative fuels development than the other two bills. Also, the downstream tax incentives for oil and gas refining, distribution, and transportation are both absolutely and relatively larger in the House bill than in either of the other two bills. In contrast, the Senate bills are absolutely and relatively more generous to renewable and alternative fuels. The Senate bills also include substantial new tax breaks for investment in clean-coal technologies and for the generation of electricity from these technologies; the House version of H.R. 6 includes no incentives for clean coal technologies -- these were dropped from the 2002 bill. Finally, with regard to ethanol fuel, the House version of H.R. 6 has no additional incentives for that renewable transportation fuel, while the other two bills would expand existing tax incentives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States and China are the world's top two energy consumers and, as of 2010, the two largest economies. Consequently, they have a decisive role to play in the world's clean energy future. Both countries are also motivated by related goals, namely diversified energy portfolios, job creation, energy security, and pollution reduction, making renewable energy development an important strategy with wide-ranging implications. Given the size of their energy markets, any substantial progress the two countries make in advancing use of renewable energy will provide global benefits, in terms of enhanced technological understanding, reduced costs through expanded deployment, and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions relative to conventional generation from fossil fuels. Within this context, the U.S. National Academies, in collaboration with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE), reviewed renewable energy development and deployment in the two countries, to highlight prospects for collaboration across the research to deployment chain and to suggest strategies which would promote more rapid and economical attainment of renewable energy goals. Main findings and concerning renewable resource assessments, technology development, environmental impacts, market infrastructure, among others, are presented. Specific recommendations have been limited to those judged to be most likely to accelerate the pace of deployment, increase cost-competitiveness, or shape the future market for renewable energy. The recommendations presented here are also pragmatic and achievable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the status of energy efficiency and renewable energy legislation introduced during the 109th Congress. Action in the first session has focused on the omnibus energy policy bill H.R. 6, omnibus transportation bill H.R. 3, and several FY2006 appropriations bills. The enacted version of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (H.R. 6, H.Rept. 109-190) authorizes or reauthorizes several energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. It also establishes several new commercial and consumer product efficiency standards, sets new goals for energy efficiency and renewable energy in federal facilities and fleets, broadens the Energy Star products program, expands programs for hydrogen fuel cell buses, extends daylight savings, and sets a renewable fuels standard for increased use of ethanol and biodiesel. Further, it extends the renewable energy production tax credit (PTC) for two years, but it does not include Senateproposed provisions for oil conservation, a renewable portfolio standard (RPS), and a broader range of legislated equipment efficiency standards. The enacted version of the Transportation Equity Act (H.R. 3, H.Rept. 109-203) has provisions for clean (renewable) fuels, energy conservation, and advanced vehicle technologies. Specific sections include 1113, volumetric excise tax credit for alternative fuels; 1121, high occupancy vehicle (HOV) facilities; 1307, magnetic ...
