The Inflation Reduction Act has reshaped EV tax credits, introducing stricter eligibility criteria while also attempting to expand overall accessibility. However, a recent IRS interpretation offers a crafty workaround for potential EV owners: leasing. 🤫
The loophole encourages a "1-day lease" strategy, where a customer leases an EV and then immediately buys it out. Businesses can easily claim the tax credit and pass the savings to consumers via lowered payments, essentially allowing consumers to capitalize on the $7,500 tax credit without the typical stipulations.
Is it legal? Yes. Is it ethical? Maybe.
