  • White House IRS SIGN on & OPED
    FEDERAL TAX PENALTIE S FOR WATER EFFICIENCY REBATES WATERNOW ALLIANCE & NATIONAL LEAGUE OF CITIES October 14th, 2016 Ali Zaidi, Associate Director for Natural Resources Christy Goldfuss, Managing Director Office of Management and Budget Council on Environmental Quality Jeffrey Zients, Director National Economic Council cc: Jerry Abramson, Director Dr. John Holdren, Director Intergovernmental Affairs Office of Science and Technology Policy Re: Federal Tax Penalties for Local Water Efficiency Rebates Dear Mr. Zaidi, Ms. Goldfuss, & Mr. Zients, As members of the National League of Cities and WaterNow Alliance, we ask for your support in resolving a federal issue of great importance to our communities. Public water utilities comprise over 80% of U.S. municipal water providers. Our ability to provide clean and reliable drinking water supplies faces growing challenges from drought, stormwater runoff, aging infrastructure, rising costs, and more. Consumer rebates and subsidies are among our most cost-effective and efficient tools for increasing water supply resilience, limiting pollutants in waterways, and keeping water affordable for citizens. Interest is growing to substantially increase these subsidies in order to scale water use efficiency and green infrastructure programs and avoid costlier, and less sustainable, alternatives for our utilities. As our water rebate programs have grown, there has been significant uncertainty as to how the IRS will treat these rebates, raising the question as to whether such a program might subject our agencies to penalties for failure to issue 1099s to participating consumers. These programs are limited to repayment for specific out-of-pocket expenses that benefit the community far more than consumers themselves. Requiring the recipients to be taxed on these reimbursements would work as a significant financial penalty, and thus a major disincentive for consumer participation in conservation programs, fundamentally undermining their effectiveness.
