Is there an 18% tax bracket ?I should be right in the 18% bracket.
Not currently. Not annually or lifetime. If you have $75Is there a lifetime limit to the amount of Tax credits per individual??
And more ;-)Not currently. Not annually or lifetime. If you have $750k in tax liability, you could buy 10 Teslas and take advantage of the tax credit on each of them.
Gah! Maths! Those darn factors of 10 are so tricky...And more ;-)
ohhh, mr ohm man...I just saw your avatar blink. seen it many times, and only now got the blink.Gah! Maths! Those darn factors of 10 are so tricky...
The date used for the income tax credit is the date the vehicle is "placed in service" (i.e., the date of delivery). Therefore, Tesla just needs to time the delivery of their 200,000th vehicle (sold to a buyer in the U.S.A.) to be right at the beginning of a quarter. That will maximize the number of people who will qualify for the credit. They can do this fairly easily by shifting deliveries to Canada or Mexico as they get close to the limit.What are the possibilities of Tesla fudging with how they record a car sale to allow more people to get the rebate?
the DOE has a summary for each state here's the CO linkcan any of you comment on the Colorado tax incentives? I'm thinking of moving back to the high country and don't recall how long it takes to qualify for the rebates.
used to live in golden, might want to return full time. but might try half step--reverse snowbirdDD, are you asking about part-time residency ?
I am super excited about my Model 3 and it seems like most articles I read about the Tax Credits has been wrong and people keep spreading rumors that most Model 3 buyers won't get it. I totally think that most buyers WILL get some Tax Credit. Below is my breakdown.
Once Tesla delivers its 200,000th vehicle in the US, then the Phaseout process starts. It does not just end but there is a 15 month phaseout process.
Pre-Phaseout: The CALENDAR QUARTER that the 200,000th vehicle is sold in is entitled to the FULL $7500 tax credit.
Phaseout Part 1: After the end of the Pre-Phaseout Quarter, then the IRS give you ANOTHER CALENDAR QUARTER (3 months) with the FULL $7500 tax credit.
Phaseout Part 2: After the end of Phaseout Part 1, there are TWO QUARTERS (6 months) with a redued 50% tax credit (that is $3,750).
Phaseout Part 3: After the end of Phaseout Part 2, there are TWO MORE QUARTERS (6 months) with a reduce 25% tax credit (that is $1,875)
Then bye bye tax credits. So there is literally 15 months plus the original quarter the 200,000th car is delivered on. I am pretty darn sure Tesla will attempt to deliver their 200,000th vehicle very very close to the Model 3 release. There is literally 15 months of tax credits for Model 3 owners.
Here are my sources (very reliable as it is from the government themselves with clear examples):
1. Federal Tax Credits for All-Electric and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles
^^Scroll to the bottom and READ the PHASEOUT SECTION
2. Elon Musk tweeted on Monday, April 4, 2016 "Our production ramp should enable a large number of non X/S customers to receive the credit".
Another twitter user suggested to Elon that he slow down production so that the delivery of the Model 3 falls right on the 200,000th vehicle
Elon Musk replied " We always try to maximize customer happiness even if that means a revenue shortfall in a quarter. Loyalty begets loyalty."
^^ I think it is pretty clear that Elon Musk will make sure that most Model 3 buyers get some tax credit.
Attached are some screenshots that validate my analysis. Anyways...just thought I would help spread TRUTH instead of rumors. If you know someone who thinks they won't get the tax credit, please have them review this article.
