For tax years beginning after 2015, a credit is available for a taxpayer who purchases or constructs, installs, and places in 
service in South Carolina eligible property used for distributing, dispensing, or storing alternative fuel at a new or existing 
fuel distribution or dispensing facility. The property must be placed in service by January 1, 2026.  
 
The Income Tax credit is equal to 25% of the taxpayer's expenses of purchasing, constructing, and installing the eligible 
property.  
 
The entire credit may not be taken in the tax year the property is placed in service, but must be taken in three equal 
annual installments beginning with the tax year the property is placed in service. If the property is disposed of or taken out 
of service and not replaced, the credit is not available for any remaining installments.  
 
Any unused credit can be carried forward for up to 10 tax years.  
 
The credit can be transferred. The SCDOR must be notified of any intent to transfer the credit.  
 
If costs of construction and installation are used to claim another credit, they cannot be used for this credit.

Social Security Privacy Act Disclosure 
It is mandatory that you provide your Social Security Number on this tax form if you are an individual taxpayer. 42 U.S.C. 405(c)(2)(C)(i) 
permits a state to use an individual's Social Security Number as means of identification in administration of any tax. SC Regulation 
117-201 mandates that any person required to make a return to the SCDOR must provide identifying numbers, as prescribed, for 
securing proper identification. Your Social Security Number is used for identification purposes. 

The Family Privacy Protection Act 
Under the Family Privacy Protection Act, the collection of personal information from citizens by the SCDOR is limited to the information 
necessary for the SCDOR to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the SCDOR, it is protected 
by law from public disclosure. In those situations where public disclosure is not prohibited, the Family Privacy Protection Act prevents 
such information from being used by third parties for commercial solicitation purposes.
