Bill Summary

This bill provides corporation business tax credit and gross income tax credits for the purchase and installation of certain electric vehicle charging stations. The credits are available for the taxpayer tax periods beginning in calendar years 2023, 2024, and 2025. The bill provides credits under the corporation business tax and the gross income tax for electric vehicle charging stations used directly and exclusively by the taxpayer in the taxpayer's business, trade, or occupation. For charging stations purchased and installed in 2023 tax periods a taxpayer will be allowed a credit in an amount of 25 percent of the cost, up to $500 per electric vehicle charging station; for a charging station purchased and installed in 2024 tax periods the credit is 15 percent of the cost, up to $300 per charging station; and for a charging station purchased and installed in 2025 tax periods the credit is eight percent of the cost, up to $150 per station. The bill also provides a gross income tax credit for a charging station purchase that is not required to be for business use. The credit for 2023 is 25 percent of cost, up to $500, for 2024 15 percent of cost, up to $300, and for 2025 eight percent of cost, up to $150, for the purchase and installation of a charging station. Married taxpayers filing separately are allowed up to half of those amounts. To qualify for the bill's tax credits, the bill requires the taxpayer to file an application for a certification with the Commissioner of Environmental Protection that the charging station purchased and installed by the taxpayer is a qualified electric vehicle charging station.

AI Summary

This bill provides tax credits for the purchase and installation of electric vehicle charging stations, which are defined as equipment capable of providing Level 2 or Level 3 charging for plug-in electric vehicles (vehicles that use a battery and are charged from an external source). For businesses, credits are available under the corporation business tax for stations used exclusively for business purposes, with the credit amount decreasing from 25% of the cost up to $500 in 2023, to 15% up to $300 in 2024, and 8% up to $150 in 2025. Similarly, individuals can receive gross income tax credits for charging stations purchased for non-business use, with the same percentage and dollar limitations for those years. To qualify for these credits, taxpayers must obtain certification from the Commissioner of Environmental Protection confirming the charging station meets the bill's requirements. Married taxpayers filing separately are eligible for half of the gross income tax credit amounts. The bill takes effect immediately.
