Free Golf Carts - Golf Carts for Free, IRS Tax Loophole

Hello, I am the IRS spokesperson in the San Francisco Bay Area. I wanted to caution individuals considering the purchase of a low-speed vehicle to carefully consider the official guidance issued by the IRS regarding the tax credits discussed in this article. Vehicles manufactured primarily for use on a golf course, do not qualify for these credits.  Certain low-speed vehicles, sometimes called neighborhood electric vehicles, can qualify for either the Plug-in Electric Drive Motor Vehicle Credit, or if purchased after February 17, 2009, the Plug-In Electric Vehicle Credit. However, low speed vehicles have to meet several qualifications to be certified for a tax credit. Two key qualifications are that vehicles must be manufactured primarily for use on public streets, and that vehicles manufactured primarily for off-road use, such as for use on a golf course, do not qualify for either credit.  A list of certified vehicles is on the IRS.gov Web site at www.irs.gov/businesses/article/0,,id=214841,00.html . The IRS also has lots of good information about energy incentives and many other tax breaks in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act at www.IRS.gov/Recovery.     Best regards.
