Description

Looking for ways to reduce your tax liability, increase cash flow, and save on utility bills? This webinar will discuss some of the most widely available tax credits and deductions for your organization including energy incentives, utility sales tax exemptions, and employee incentives.

The government has passed unprecedented energy legislation these past two years ushering in the upcoming climate economy. During this session you will learn about those energy incentives in the built environment that apply to you. Those who are building new, renovating, or improving their property are welcome to join and learn if they are eligible to participate in the Energy Incentive Program. We will also discuss how the Employee Retention Credit can be stacked with these incentives.

Join us to learn more about these valuable credits and deductions including the Energy Incentive Program, ERC and Utility Sales Tax Exemption Studies, and whether your organization may qualify.
