Home fuel cell - Incentives

1 For businesses, additional cash advantages can be realized from

bonus and accelerated depreciation of fuel cells.


Distributed generation - Wind turbine

1 Construction costs are higher ($0.80/W, 2007) per watt than large power plants, except in

very windy areas. Wind towers and generators have substantial insurable liabilities caused by

high winds, but good operating safety. In some areas of the US there may also be

Property Tax costs involved with wind turbines that are not offset by incentives or accelerated depreciation.[http://www.nrel.gov/docs/legosti/fy97/6980.pdf] Retrieved on 20 October 2010

Accelerated depreciation

1 For tax purposes, accelerated depreciation provides a way of

deferring corporate income taxes by reducing taxable income in current years, in exchange for increased taxable income in future years


Accelerated depreciation

1 For financial reporting purposes, the two most popular methods of accelerated depreciation

are the 'double declining balance' method and the 'sum-of-the-years’ digits' method. For tax purposes, the allowable methods of accelerated depreciation depend on the tax law that the taxpayer is subject to. In the United States, the two currently allowable depreciation methods for tax purposes are

both accelerated depreciation methods (ACRS and MACRS).


Accelerated depreciation - Additional factors

1 There is no evidence, however, that accelerated depreciation leads to higher overall tax revenue for the

government


Accelerated depreciation - Additional factors

1 Governments generally provide opportunities to defer taxes where there are specific policy

reasons to encourage an industry. For example, accelerated depreciation is used in some countries to encourage investment in

renewable energy. Further, governments have increased accelerated depreciation methods in time of economic stress (in particular, the US government passed laws after 9-11 to further

accelerate depreciation on capital assets).


Accelerated depreciation - Example

1 As a simple example, a company buys a Electrical generator|generator that costs

$1,000 that is expected to last for 10 years. Under the most simple form of depreciation,

the company might allocate $100 of the cost of the generator to its expenses every year, until the $1000 capital expense has

been used up. Under accelerated depreciation, the company may be allowed to allocate $200 of the cost of the generator

for five years.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-accelerated-depreciation-toolkit.html

accelerated depreciation works. It does not factor in an accurate class life, recovery period or account for

convention.)

depreciation


Totaled - Auto insurance

1 In Canada, this is more commonly called accelerated depreciation; how a person goes

about reclaiming those losses in either country is a different process. In some US states, insurance companies acknowledge

diminished value and provide this coverage direct to their consumers. In Canada, in order to recuperate the lost value after an accident,

a person needs to retain legal counsel and order an acceleration depreciation report on

their car for the courts use.


Biofuel in the United Kingdom - Asia

1 One salient feature of the policy is to create an environment conducive to investments through the provision of the following incentives: (a)

duty-free importation of renewable energy (RE) machinery, equipment and materials over the initial 10 years through the issuance of

certifications to RE developers; (b) duty-free importation of farm machinery and agricultural inputs during the initial 10 years from the effectivity of the Renewable Energy law; (c) income tax holidays over

the first seven years of commercial operation; (d) accelerated depreciation if an RE fails to receive an ITH before full operation; (e)

cash incentives from RE Developers for Missionary Electrification, i.e., 50% of the universal charge for power needed to service missionary

areas; (f) corporate tax rates of 10% on its net taxable income after the initial seven-year ITH period; (g) tax exemptions for carbon credits; (h)

special realty tax rates of not more than 1.5% on equipment and machinery, civil works, and other improvements; and (i) net operating
