What is Section 179D?
- A lucrative tax deduction for making commercial buildings more energy efficient
-
Allows building owners to earn a deduction of up to up to $5 per square foot by installing energy efficient systems
-
Applies to entire buildings or parts like lighting, HVAC and building envelope.
-
Builders of government properties can also get these deductions
Example
Imagine you own a commercial building with 50,000 square feet of space. You make energy-efficient improvements to the building's lighting, HVAC, and building envelope, hitting the required 50% energy savings threshold. With the 179D deduction, you can claim up to $5 per square foot. So, your tax deduction would be $250,000.
What is 45L?
-
A tax credit for crafting energy-efficient residential properties
-
Builders can get up to $2,000 per home for energy-saving construction or renovation.
-
The credit is for new or renovated single-family homes, including townhouses and apartments up to three stories.
- Homes must show a 50% reduction in energy usage compared to standard homes
Example
Let's say you're a homebuilder and you construct 20 new single-family homes that meet the energy efficiency requirements for the 45L tax credit. If each home qualifies, you're eligible to claim a $2,000 tax credit per dwelling. Therefore, your total tax credit would be $40,000.
