If you’re a Design/Build firm operating in the government sector, you may have earned an impressive tax deduction — as much as $1.80 per square foot — through an IRS provision called Section 179D.

But it doesn’t just come to you. You need to have the government owner of the project* write what’s called an “allocation letter,” assigning you all or part of the deduction. You need to have an independent third-party entity certify the energy savings.

And claiming the deduction is a first-come, first-served situation — once all of that $1.80/SF deduction is allocated, it’s gone for that project. So time is of the essence.

Concord is the industry leader in Section 179D services:

• Helping you determine if a project is eligible.
• Helping you write allocation letters (we can even handle contacting your client to secure them).
• And certifying the energy savings you’ve designed.

You’ve done the work — make sure you get the deduction you’ve earned. Contact Concord today.
