Over the past several years the government has developed several incentives, discounts, and other tax benefits designed to entice businesses into or instead of into “to explore” greener operations. One of the quickest ways to do this is by switching to alternative fuel vehicles and buses. Making the switch not only reduces your company's carbon footprint, but it can also reduce your monthly expenses in fuel and maintenance costs, as well as increase your tax benefits.

 

Common benefits include:

- New Purchase Tax Deduction
