Domestic Content Bonus Credit Solutions
Unlock significant tax savings and enhance project value with domestic content bonus credits.
Domestic Content Bonus Credit Solutions
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) introduces significant tax incentives for businesses investing in clean energy projects. A key component of these incentives is the domestic content bonus credit, which is a 10% investment tax credit for utilizing domestically manufactured components within a project. To qualify for enhanced tax credits, a certain percentage of these components must be produced in the U.S. This requirement aims to stimulate domestic manufacturing, create jobs and strengthen U.S. supply chains.
Baker Tilly helps businesses understand these intricate requirements and design projects to ensure they maximize available tax credits while remaining compliant.
What is the IRA domestic content requirement?
IRA 2022 guidance on the amount of project material which must be sourced and/or manufactured domestically has been set. The percentage of material that must be domestic is dependent on the year the project began construction (see below). However, when it comes to steel or iron components that are construction materials and structural in nature, 100% of the steel and iron must be U.S. sourced if the project began construction in 2023 and onward.
