Overview

The recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes nearly $300 billion in transformative energy incentives. Our panel will discuss what the new and enhanced credits and incentives can mean for private companies. The IRA is also notable for what it didn’t include, and we’ll be ready to answer questions on the prospects for unfinished tax priorities and the new tax legislative outlook coming out of the midterm elections.
