EPAct 179D for Tax Professionals – Helping Your Clients.
As a tax professional you may help your commercial building owner, architect, engineer and design clients obtain significant tax savings utilizing Section 179D (EPAct) of the Federal Tax Code. 179D may offer significant tax savings for your clients, who have built or remodeled a commercial building since 2006.
Potentially any building constructed since 2006 and all LEED certified buildings will qualify for a deduction. Qualifying properties must reduce energy use by 50% as compared to a 2001 energy standard. Typically this improvement is easily attained as building components continue to improve and become more energy efficient.
