The Pollution Control Tax Incentive: A Non-Incentive.

Loren A. Nikolai; Rick Elam

Abstract

ABSTRACT: Congress has re-enacted the accelerated amortization deduction for certified pollution control facilities, presumably to stimulate investments in such facilities. Through the use of a present-value federal income tax impact model, it is shown that rarely will the provision serve as a tax "incentive" for this type of investment when elected by a manufacturing firm.
