Utah State Tax credits in 06, 07?

[younkin]

I was under the impression that Utah was giving out tax credits for All CNG Conversions up until 12 months ago? Did anyone personally get one? Jim

I got one last January for an 01 Ford F-150 but it was an OEM CNG system.

I received tax credits in 06/07. Tax credits are still available if qualifications are met (it is easier to qualify if vehicle is OEM versus conversion). The credit laws changed this year and are much easier to calculate. This year it is 35% of purchase price or $2500, whichever is less (compared to 50% of incremental cost).

The following threads describe the credits in detail:

The required documentation for OEM & conversions is found here:
http://www.rules.utah.gov/publicat/c...307-121.htm#T3

The following requirement for conversions requires EPA/CARB certification:
(6) proof of certification required in 59-10-1009(1)(b) or 59-7-605(1)(b);

From http://le.utah.gov/~code/TITLE59/htm/59_10_100900.htm:
(c) "Certified by the board" means that:
(i) a motor vehicle on which conversion equipment has been installed meets the following criteria:
(A) before the installation of conversion equipment, the vehicle does not exceed the emission cut points for a transient test driving cycle, as specified in 40 C.F.R. Part 51, Appendix E to Subpart S, or an equivalent test for the make, model, and year of the vehicle;
(B) the motor vehicle's emissions of regulated pollutants, when operating on fuels listed in Subsection (2)(c)(i) or (ii), is less than the emissions were before the installation of conversion equipment; and
(C) a reduction in emissions under Subsection (1)(d)(i)(B) is demonstrated by:
(I) certification of the conversion equipment by the federal Environmental Protection Agency or by a state whose certification standards are recognized by the board;
(II) testing the motor vehicle, before and after installation of the conversion equipment, in accordance with 40 C.F.R. Part 86, Control Emissions from New and In-use Highway Vehicles and Engines, using all fuels the motor vehicle is capable of using; or
(III) any other test or standard recognized by board rule; or
(ii) special mobile equipment on which conversion equipment has been installed meets the following criteria:
(A) the special mobile equipment's emissions of regulated pollutants, when operating on fuels listed in Subsection (2)(c)(i) or (ii), is less than the emissions were before the installation of conversion equipment; and
(B) a reduction in emissions under Subsection (1)(c)(ii)(A) is demonstrated by:
(I) certification of the conversion equipment by the federal Environmental Protection Agency or by a state whose certification standards are recognized by the board; or
(II) any other test or standard recognized by the board.
