§68-2357.22.
A. For tax years beginning before January 1, 2002, there shall be
allowed a one-time credit against the income tax imposed by Section
2355 of this title for investments in qualified clean-burning motor
vehicle fuel property placed in service after December 31, 1990, and
for investments in qualified electric motor vehicle property placed in
service after December 31, 1995.
B. As used in this section, "qualified clean-burning motor vehicle
fuel property" means:
1. Equipment installed to modify a motor vehicle which is propelled by
gasoline or diesel fuel so that the vehicle may be propelled by
methanol, "M-85" which is a mixture of methanol and gasoline
containing at least eighty-five percent (85%) methanol, compressed
natural gas, liquefied natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas or a
combination of at least fifty percent (50%) natural gas;
2. A motor vehicle originally equipped so that the vehicle may be
propelled by compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas or
liquefied petroleum gas, or propelled by methanol or "M-85" but only
to the extent of the portion of the basis of such motor vehicle which
is attributable to the storage of such fuel, the delivery to the
engine of such motor vehicle of such fuel, and the exhaust of gases
from combustion of such fuel; or
3. Property which is directly related to the delivery of methanol,
"M-85", compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas or liquefied
petroleum gas into the fuel tank of a motor vehicle propelled by such
fuel including compression equipment and storage tanks for such fuel
at the point where such fuel is so delivered but only if such property
is not used to deliver such fuel into any other type of storage tank
or receptacle and such fuel is not used for any purpose other than to
propel a motor vehicle. However, property which is directly related to
the delivery of methanol or "M-85" into the fuel tank of a motor
vehicle propelled by such fuel as provided in this paragraph shall be
used solely for the purpose of delivering methanol or "M-85" and no
other purpose in order to claim the tax credit pursuant to this
section. If the property is used for any other purpose than the
delivery of methanol or "M-85", the tax credit shall immediately be
refunded to the Oklahoma Tax Commission. The Corporation Commission
shall inspect the property to determine whether the property is being
used for the delivery of methanol or "M-85".
C. As used in this section, "qualified electric motor vehicle
property" means a motor vehicle originally equipped to be propelled
only by electricity but only to the extent of the portion of the basis
of such motor vehicle which is attributable to the propulsion of the
vehicle by electricity. The term "qualified electric motor vehicle
property" shall not apply to vehicles known as "golf carts,"
"go-carts" and other motor vehicles which are manufactured principally
for use off the streets and highways.
D. The credit provided for in subsection A of this section shall be
fifty percent (50%) of the cost of the qualified clean-burning motor
vehicle fuel property or qualified electric motor vehicle property.
E. In cases where no credit has been claimed pursuant to subsection D
of this section and in which a motor vehicle is purchased by a
taxpayer with qualified clean-burning motor vehicle fuel property or
qualified electric motor vehicle property installed by the
manufacturer of such motor vehicle and the taxpayer is unable or
elects not to determine the exact basis which is attributable to such
property, the taxpayer may claim a credit in an amount not exceeding
the lesser of ten percent (10%) of the cost of the motor vehicle or
One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00).
F. If the tax credit allowed pursuant to subsection A of this section
exceeds the amount of income taxes due or if there are no state income
taxes due on the income of the taxpayer, the amount of the credit not
used as an offset against the income taxes of a taxable year may be
carried forward as a credit against subsequent income tax liability
for a period not to exceed three (3) years.
G. A husband and wife who file separate returns for a taxable year in
which they could have filed a joint return may each claim only
one-half (1/2) of the tax credit that would have been allowed for a
joint return.
