On May 9-11^th Capital Review Group was excited to participate in LIGHTFAIR International in Las Vegas. As the world’s largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference, LIGHTFAIR International blends continuing education courses with innovative products ranging from high-end design to cutting-edge technology.

CRG was one of the sponsors of the EnOcean-Alliance booth, where we were on hand to present our expertise in leveraging the tax benefits of §179D, which are available to building owners when building or retrofitting their properties with energy efficient products.  This was a timely topic, as many EnOcean-Alliance members were presenting products that may provide commercial building owners with ways to capitalize on the §179D benefits.  According to Graham Martin, Chairman of EnOcean-Alliance, “The innovative solutions EnOcean-Alliance members displayed this year are designed to reduce energy consumption as well as give users more control and flexibility in managing their lighting requirements, whether new construction or the retrofitting of older buildings for more efficient operations.”

We were impressed with how smoothly the conference ran and the impressive number of attendees, as well as the caliber of our fellow EnOcean-Alliance sponsors.  We applaud the EnOcean-Alliance for their work in developing and promoting self-powered wireless monitoring and control systems for sustainable buildings by formalizing the interoperable wireless standard.

Phoenix, AZ – Capital Review Group (CRG) has published a new white paper titled, “Allocation Pass-through, Sharing the §179D Deduction with the Authorizing Agency”.  The Phoenix-based firm offers specialized consulting services which combine engineering with tax accounting to discover and develop high-value projects related to energy efficiency and provide Capital Discovery® solutions for government and commercial facilities.

CRG’s white paper explains the guidelines for taking the Energy-Efficient Commercial Building Tax Deduction (26 U.S.C. §179D) included in the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  It further details the specifics of the “allocation pass-through” which provides a tax deduction to the primary designer(s) of government owned buildings that are eligible for the §179D deduction.

CRG has documented potential problems and issues with the allocation pass-through that may require clarification.  CRG Founder and CEO, Marky Moore explains, “There is no formal or recommended process for these negotiations.  In fact, governmental jurisdiction and agencies have applied retrospective and seemingly punitive calculations for payment by the primary designers for authorization for the allocation.”

The white paper provides a breakdown of potential formulas used by government agencies, and makes recommendations for standardizing the participation of government agencies in the allocation pass-through process, which would result in a more reasonable outcome for the primary designer(s) involved.

CRG’s experts provide §179d analysis and financial recommendations for energy-related federal tax incentives, as well as providing the required third-party certification to claim those deductions.  §179d deductions apply to energy efficient improvements made to existing buildings or new construction between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2013.  CRG has extensive knowledge of IRS approved methods for amending prior returns or filing the required forms with current returns that will allow taxpayers to take advantage of §179d deductions, and will represent the client directly before the IRS if the deduction is ever challenged.

CRG’s team of experts provide clients with up-to-date, specialized services related to green tax incentives, energy tax deductions, IRS compliance regulations and energy strategies including renewables.  Using CRG’s Capital Discovery® process, clients can benefit from successful identification of tax effects that yield immediate and dramatic financial advantage and application of discovered capital to high-value energy projects.
