Help increase project economics and lower tax liability with transferable tax credits

Businesses have been afforded new and expanded opportunities to monetize tax credits and advance renewable energy commitments, but the process is far from simple.

One of the most significant changes from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) was the creation of credit monetization through transferability, meaning that taxpayers can now buy and sell certain federal tax credits. In conjunction with state programs permitting transferable credits, the expanded incentive credit market creates opportunities for both credit sellers and buyers to increase project economics and implement tax planning strategies while supporting sustainability-related initiatives. 

BDO’s Tax Credit Monetization team works with credit sellers and buyers to navigate the complex credit transfer market and execute a credit strategy that best aligns with their goals. We offer a full-service approach to identify, generate, and monetize tax credits.

Federal Transferable Tax Credit Opportunities

The IRA created the ability to transfer certain federal renewable energy credits, introducing a simpler method to monetize credits than traditional tax equity partnerships. If your business qualifies for renewable energy credits but doesn’t have a significant tax liability, you may choose to sell those credits in exchange for cash. Businesses with tax liabilities may be able to offset their taxable income by buying such federal tax credits at a discount. 

How are you leveraging renewable energy tax credits?

Whether you are looking to generate credits, sell credits in exchange for cash, or purchase transferable credits to lower your total tax liability and contribute to sustainability initiatives, BDO can help.
