Clean Fuel Vehicle Tax Credit
In 2008, the Utah Legislature revised the State's Clean Air and Efficient Vehicle Tax Incentives. Because of this revision, different rules apply to vehicle's purchased before and after January 1, 2009.
- Rules for Vehicles Purchased After January 1, 2009
- Rules for Vehicles Purchased Before January 1, 2009
Motor Vehicles that Meet Air Quality and Fuel Economy Standards
In addition, a non refundable tax credit for the original purchase of a new vehicle that is not fueled by compressed natural gas if the vehicle:
- meets air quality and fuel economy standards (see tables below to see which vehicles maybe eligible to receive this credit);
- has never been titled or registered and has been driven less than 7,500 miles; and,
- must be an original purchase of a new vehicle.
For eligible motor vehicles that were bought in 2009 and 2010 the credit is $750 and for eligible motor vehicles that are bought on or after January 1, 2011 the credit is $605.
