General Information 
  
Code Section 12-6-3695 provides a tax credit for tax years beginning after 2015 for a taxpayer who purchases or 
constructs, installs, and places in service in this State eligible property that is used for distribution, dispensing, or storing 
alternative fuel specified in this subsection, at a new or existing fuel distribution or dispensing facility, is allowed an income 
tax credit equal to twenty-five percent of the cost to the taxpayer of purchasing, constructing, and installing the eligible 
property.  
  
The entire credit may not be taken in the taxable year in which the property is placed in service, but must be taken in three 
equal annual installments beginning with the taxable year in which the property is placed in service. If, in one of the years 
in which the installment of a credit accrues, property directly and exclusively used for distributing, dispensing, or storing 
alternative fuel is disposed of or taken out of service and is not replaced, the credit expires and the taxpayer may not 
claim any remaining installment of the credit.  
  
The unused portion of an unexpired credit may be carried forward for not more than ten succeeding taxable years. The 
taxpayer may transfer any applicable credit associated with this section. To the extent that the taxpayer transfers the 
credit, the taxpayer must notify the department of the transfer in the manner the department prescribes.  
  
A taxpayer who claims any other credit allowed pursuant to this article with respect to the costs of constructing and 
installing a facility may not take the credit allowed in this section with respect to the same costs. The Department of 
Revenue may require documentation that it considers necessary to administer the credit.  
  
To claim the credits allowed in this section, the taxpayer must place the property or facility in service before January 1, 
2026.

117-201 mandates that any person required to make a return to the SC Department of Revenue shall provide identifying numbers, as 
prescribed, for securing proper identification. Your social security number is used for identification purposes.

Under the Family Privacy Protection Act, the collection of personal information from citizens by the Department of Revenue is limited to 
the information necessary for the Department to fulfill its statutory duties. In most instances, once this information is collected by the
