[Equest-users] EPACT Extension

[Matthew Huffman]

I'm aware of a proposed Senate bill called the Commercial Building
Modernization Act (S.3591) to extend and simplify the EPACT Section 179D
deduction.  It was introduced by Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and
co-sponsored by Senators Bingaman (D-NM), Feinstein (D-CA), and Cardin
(D-MD).  It has been referred  to committee, but there are many more
steps until it can reach the President's desk for signature.....

 

Since Senators Snowe and Bingaman have retired (effective at the end of
the current term) I don't know if this would need to be re-introduced or
if it's dead.

 

Here's a link to more info:  
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s3591 

 

I like what I've read so far-such as extending EPACT to 2016 and more
provisions to simplify EPACT for existing buildings.

Does anyone know the likelihood of the EPACT deduction for energy
efficient commercial buildings being extended?  

 

I believe it is currently limited to facilities completed by Dec 31,
2013.  I'm running into a facility that would qualify, but would
probably not be completed until after the deadline.

 

Also is there any special exception for facilities completed in phases?
This building will be in 2 phases, but on one water loop.

 

Best,
