Tax incentives for hybrid car purchases can add up to significant amount, depending on the specific vehicle purchased as well as many other factors. Alternative fuel vehicles and hybrid cars are becoming more popular and in demand, especially as gas prices go up. There are more than just environmental reasons to buy these vehicles, including a hybrid car tax credit and other tax incentives. The hybrid car tax credit offers a tax credit worth up to thirty four hundred dollars, but there are some strings attached. Only the first sixty thousand hybrid vehicles produced by an automaker are eligible for the credit, and the amount can vary widely. Some automakers are already past the limit, and no longer offer this tax incentive, but others are still available.
Tax incentives for hybrid car purchases can include the Cash For Clunkers Program as well. This program through the US Government allows an older vehicle which is not energy efficient to be traded in for a high value of between thirty five hundred and forty five hundred dollars. The specific amount of the trade in value is determined by the gas mileage of the car being purchased versus the car being traded in. A third tax incentive for purchasing a hybrid car is part of the Economic Stimulus Package, and it allows new vehicle buyers a tax deduction for the sales tax which is paid on the purchase, as long as the vehicle has a price below forty nine thousand five hundred dollars. Some states have also offered tax incentives for fuel efficient or hybrid car purchases.
