Please join us for this informational session hosted by the office of U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen and the New Hampshire Municipal Association (NHMA) to learn how tax exempt and government entities can receive direct payments for certain clean energy tax credits that were expanded in the Inflation Reduction Act.
Join experts from the U.S. Treasury for a presentation about the proposed guidance for how elective pay will benefit local governments, municipals, non-profits and tax exempt organizations when they make clean energy investments.
What Questions Do You Have About Elective Pay?
Questions in advance are strongly encouraged as Treasury guidance is still in the draft stages and individual circumstances may be better addressed by other tax advisors/experts. Please direct questions to governmentaffairs@nhmunicipal.org.
