What is Epact 2005? It's something that business owners should not ignore. EPACT2005 stands for Energy Policy Act 2005. In a nutshell, there could be significant tax breaks available to you if you plan on doing some energy efficient work in your facility. For example: Lighting upgrades. Below is a snippet from energy.gov "Energy-efficient Commercial building deduction. This provision allows
a tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings that reduce annual energy and power consumption by 50% compared to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) 2001 standard. The deduction would equal the cost of energy-efficient property installed during construction, with a maximum deduction of $1.80 per square foot of the building. Additionally, a partial deduction of 60 cents per square foot would be provided for building subsystems." http://www.energy.gov/taxbreaks.htm |
