March Issue

 

ATTENTION ALL ELECTRICAL INSPECTORS : : : 

 

 

Each of you probably sees some “repetitive errors” in your travels.  We wish to publish these, with or without names.  It is our hope that some of these errors/violations can be avoided.  Code may be referenced if you wish.  This forum can serve both the contractor and the inspector, making our respective jobs a bit easier.  Thank you! 

We have word that we may soon receive a “top ten” violation list from LIPA.  Watch this space for more details.

TAX TIPS FOR ELECTRICIANS

Stuart A. Sinclair, CPA
(516) 935-2086


There is a hybrid car tax credit available starting 1/1/06.  This federal tax credit can range as high as $3150, depending on which hybrid car model you purchase.  The tax credits are available for a limited number of vehicles per manufacturer, and begin to phase out once 60,000 hybrid vehicles have been sold on a per manufacturer basis.  The credit gradually reduces over the next five quarters after the quota has been reached.  The IRS posts hybrid credit information on their website at www.irs.gov.

As always, we recommend that any questions regarding accounting and taxes be directed to Stuart.
