2.312 Expensing of Alternative Energy Units
In determining net income, a corporation may elect to take an immediate deduction for expenditures made for certain solar or wind powered systems or units located in Massachusetts and used exclusively in the business, in lieu of all other deductions and credits including the deduction for depreciation. Without this provision, such expenditures would have to be capitalized and depreciated. The immediate deduction constitutes a tax expenditure, resulting in a deferral of tax or an interest-free loan.
