Tax Incentives for Production and Conservation of Energy and Natural Resources brings together in one place analyses of the many income tax provisions designed to encourage production of energy resources and conservation of energy and other natural resources.

This Portfolio, authored by James Edward Maule, Esq., Professor of Law at Villanova University School of Law, separates the analyses into six categories.

It also presents a history of the provisions as they have been added, expanded, and modified.

First, this Portfolio discusses production incentives that are provided in the form of deductions. This brings together in one place analyses of amounts that are accounted for in computing taxable income on account of energy production.

Second, it discusses production incentives that are provided in the form of credits. This brings together in one place analyses of amounts that are subtracted in computing tax liability on account of energy production.

Third, this Portfolio discusses incentives for the conservation of energy and other natural resources that are provided in the form of exclusions from gross income. This brings together in one place analyses of amounts that are excluded in computing gross income on account of conservation activities.

Fourth, it discusses incentives for the conservation of energy and other natural resources that are provided in the form of deductions. This brings together in one place analyses of amounts that are deducted in computing taxable income on account of conservation activities.

Fifth, it discusses incentives for the conservation of energy and other natural resources that are provided in the form of credits. This brings together in one place analyses of amounts that are subtracted in computing tax liability on account of conservation activities.

Sixth, the Portfolio discusses deductions and credits that are provided as incentives for nuclear energy. Some focus on the decommissioning of nuclear power plants, and others on the production of nuclear energy.

Tax Incentives for Production and Conservation of Energy and Natural Resources allows you to benefit from:

• Hundreds of hours of original research on specific tax planning topics from leading practitioners in this area
• Invaluable practice documents including tables, charts and lists
