Do conversions qualify for incentives?

The IRS guidance now extends the tax credit to all conversions, regardless of the original in service date of the vehicle, by defining the "original use" of the vehicle as the first date the vehicle is placed in service as an alternative fuel vehicle. Thus, any converted vehicle first placed in service after January 1, 2006 and for which the conversion system manufacturer has received a certificate of conformity from the EPA or California Air Resources Board is eligible for the credit.

Do hybrid vehicles qualify for incentives?

No, not in Utah, because hybrids still run on gasoline. However, hybrids can be more fuel efficient and, therefore, cleaner burning than conventional gasoline vehicles. Recently the IRS announced federal tax deduction for hybrids. Consumers are encouraged to consider buying hybrids. Consult this IRS news release as well as the Revenue Procedure 2002-42 for more information.
