Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a tax incentive that allows businesses to deduct a certain percentage of the cost of qualifying investments from their federal taxes.
This credit is primarily aimed at encouraging investment in specific types of assets, such as renewable energy projects or other capital expenditures that promote economic growth. For example, if a company invests $1 million in solar energy equipment and the applicable ITC rate is 26%, the company can claim a credit of $260,000 against its income tax liability.
The ITC can be particularly beneficial for businesses by reducing their overall tax burden and improving return on investment for capital projects.
