This legislative proposal introduces a new business tax credit, designated as Section 48F, within the Internal Revenue Code, aimed at encouraging the adoption of environmentally friendly landscaping practices. Businesses can claim a credit equal to 40 percent of the basis of eligible zero-emission electric lawn, garden, and landscape equipment placed in service. This credit is designed to offset the cost of transitioning from fossil fuel-powered equipment to electric alternatives. The credit is subject to specific limitations, including an annual cap of $25,000 and an aggregate limit of $100,000 over any consecutive 10-year period. Eligible equipment encompasses items primarily used for landscaping, powered by electricity from various zero-emission sources like batteries or solar, and explicitly excludes gasoline or diesel-powered machinery. The definition also includes zero-emission generators for charging, standalone batteries, and property used to retrofit existing equipment for emission-free operation. Furthermore, the bill allows for the elective payment or transferability of this credit, providing flexibility for businesses that may not have sufficient tax liability to fully utilize the credit directly. To prevent double benefits, the credit generally cannot be claimed if another deduction or credit is allowed for the same property, with an exception for accelerated depreciation. This credit will apply to property placed in service after December 31, 2024, and is set to terminate for property placed in service after five years from the date of enactment.
