Effluent Treatment Equipment Credit
Publication revised September 24, 2026. Sourcebook page 188.
Credit amount / calculation
Credit based on qualifying effluent-treatment equipment.
Business fit and eligible activity
Potentially relevant to wood-treatment or industrial facilities installing certified treatment equipment. Qualified investment or approved project activity; confirm eligible property, location and taxpayer type.
Eligibility and practical use
A wood-products plant may have an eligible project when it installs equipment to process a qualifying waste stream into a saleable product. In-plant reuse of ordinary production residuals is not automatically enough. Page
Illustrative business benefit
Use-of-credit illustration, not an estimated award: assume the agency or completed tax form establishes a $1,000 credit for the qualifying activity described above. If sufficient eligible tax is due, a $1,000 credit available for current use reduces that tax by $1,000. If annual limits allow only $600, that is this year's saving; the other $400 survives only if the carryforward or transfer rules permit. Obtain the actual program calculation before estimating a project benefit.
