Tax firms build up energy teams in wake of tax-and-climate law

The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) created significant opportunities for organizations to tap into tax credits for reducing their greenhouse gas emissions. The tax credits offered through the IRA will incentivize organizations across multiple industries to deliver on sustainability and carbon-reduction commitments. Due to a growing demand of clean energy projects from clients, tax and law firms are expanding internally to grow their clean energy expertise and offerings for companies that want to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The IRA allows for tax credits to be sold or transferred on time to a third party. The transferability provision under the IRA creates a new opportunity for clean energy developers to sell credits to any corporate company that wants to offset some of its taxes.
