THE REFUELING INFRASTRUCTURE TAX CREDIT (Section 30c)
50 CENT PER GALLON ALTERNATIVE FUEL TAX CREDIT (Section 6426(d)) AND
THE REFUELING INFRASTRUCTURE TAX CREDIT (Section 30c)
NPGA just has learned that the Senate Finance Committee will markup a tax extenders bill next Wednesday, April 2, 2014.
It is imperative that you contact both your Senators as soon as possible.
Call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121202-224-3121 and ask for your Senator's office.
Here are some talking points you can use when you get through to the office:
1. Introduce yourself as a constituent from the state and ask for the staffer handling tax issues. If unavailable, ask for the energy staffer.
2. When you get through to the staffer:
a. Introduce yourself and your company again and state your interest in the Senate Finance Committee's markup of the tax extenders bill.
b. State that you are calling specifically about the extension of alternative fuel tax credits that currently include propane (aka liquefied petroleum gas)
c. Urge the Senator to support a two-year extension of:
i. The 50 cent per gallon alternative fuel tax credit covered in tax code Section 6426(d)
ii. The refueling infrastructure tax credit covered in tax code Section 30(c).
3. These tax credits are very important for the alternative fuel vehicle sector. They will spur growth of clean alternatives to gasoline and diesel, and they will help reduce harmful emissions.
4. If your Senator is a Democrat, it is very important that you urge him or her to express support directly to Senator Wyden's office.
5. If your Senator is a Republican, have them contact Senator Hatch's office to express support for your requests.
6. It will be very helpful if you would let us know the reaction you receive to your phone calls, so email us at
