Utility Tax Issues and the Stimulus Package
The tax provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 affecting utilities and investments in renewable energy set into action by President Obama’s campaign promises to implement a “green” economic recovery plan that includes considerable renewable energy tax incentives and spending initiatives.
Hundreds of millions of dollars of utility infrastructure capital expenditures are being planned. Major tax questions are associated with the uses of the funds as well as the financing sources. Attend the 24th Annual SNL EXNET Utility Tax Conference, March 19-20 at the Ritz-Carlton Pentagon City just outside Washington, D.C., and gain the benefit of insights on emerging issues in this area as well as the historical issues, some of which continue to be an area of controversy.
If you’re someone who will be called on to render advice and expertise on the ramifications of this stimulus package, register now to get the benefit of guidance on the issues from industry tax specialists and leaders from Deloitte Tax, Winston & Strawn, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young.
