Clean Fuel Vehicle Tax Credit

The state provides an income tax credit for 50% of the incremental cost (up to $3,000 maximum) of a clean fuel vehicle built by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and/or an income tax credit for 50% of the cost (up to $2,500 maximum) of converting the vehicle to operate on an alternative fuel for vehicles purchased after January 1, 2001, and registered in Utah. If not previously used, the tax credit may be claimed on used vehicles. Tax credits are available for businesses and individuals, may be carried forward up to five years, and are not available for hybrid electric vehicles. Documentation must be provided as described in the Utah state tax form TC-40V. Effective January 1, 2009, the credit amount for OEM vehicles will decrease to 35% of the incremental cost (up to $2,500) for compressed natural gas vehicles registered in Utah; other clean fuel vehicles may be eligible for a credit of up to $750. (Reference House Bill 106, 2008, Utah Code 59-7-605 and 59-10-127)
