Description

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) expands tax incentives for various energy resources, reshapes how eligible projects are financed, and monetizes new and expanded tax credits. Section 6418 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) permits taxpayers to transfer all or a portion of certain energy-related tax credits for cash. This opens the door to a larger pool of financing for developers and tax-equity investors.

Recently, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS released final regulations under IRC Section 6418 for transferrable tax credits for incentives included in the IRA. Counsel must understand these credits and the final rules governing the transfer of such credits.

Listen as our panel discusses the clean energy tax credit transfer regime. The panel will also discuss the recent IRS and Treasury final rule for transferable tax credits as well as key elements of and clarifications under the rule.
