Tax law changes

Hi Susanrich306, thanks for the event question.

 

Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA 2022) signed into law on 8/16/2022. Hence terms used here are “Pre-IRA 2022” and “Post-IRA 2022.”

 

The new name is Clean Vehicle Credit vs. previously called New Qualified Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit.

 

The EV credit is live and well. "Post-IRA 2022" eliminates the phase-out rules when a manufacturer reaches its 200,000th sale, and replaces it with modified credit amounts,  qualifying requirements and expiration date.

 

Starting 1/1/2023, it has taxpayer income limits, vehicle price limits, and many other rules. A qualified EV purchased from GM and Tesla qualifies once again for the credit under the new law.

 

I find the page 2 chart from below link helpful. Please focus on "Pre-IRA 2022 Plug-in EV Credit" and "Post-IRA 2022 Clean Vehicles Credit and Credit for Previously Owned Clean Vehicles" columns.

Thank you and hope the above helps.
