Washington Renewable Energy System Cost Recovery

The Department of Revenue has readopted, on an emergency basis, amendments to WAC 458-20-273 (Renewable energy system cost recovery), which provides appeal rights to a determination by the Department regarding: (1) a revocation or denial of approval to certify a renewable energy system for eligibility in the incentive payment program; or (2) a revocation or denial of approval to certify a module, inverter, or blade as manufactured in Washington state for purposes of increased factors in calculating the amount of incentive payments. The amended rule had previously been adopted on an emergency basis, and there are no changes from the version previously filed. The amended rule may be used to determine tax liability until August 3, 2012, unless the Department adopts a permanent rule prior to that date.
