West Virginia Electric and Gas Utilities Rate Reduction Credit

Electric and Gas Utilities Rate Reduction Credit
Schedule LSchedule L - Electric, Natural Gas, Sewer, and Water Utilities Rate Reduction Credit

Rev. March 2019

Electric, Natural Gas, Sewer, and Water Utilities Rate Reduction Credit
Public utilities who provide electric and gas utility service at special reduced rates to low income residential customers for the billing
months of December through April, or who provide water and/or sewer utility service at approved special reduced rates to certain lowincome residential customers in any month, are eligible to claim the credit. The West Virginia Public Service Commission will determine
the revenue deficiency resulting from the reduced rates and certify the amount of allowable credit.

A copy of the certification order must be attached to the return on which the credit is claimed.
An eligible taxpayer may claim the credit on the annual return for the taxable year in which it receives certification.
However, the credit is first claimed against the West Virginia Business and Occupation Tax liability, then against West Virginia
Corporation Net Income Tax liability. Any portion of the credit then remaining may be carried over to the next year's Business and
Occupation Tax liability and is applied before any other credits for that year. There is no provision for carryover to the Corporation Net
Income Tax.

Column 4 Enter the amount being claimed as a credit against your Corporation net Income Tax.

Schedule L is a West Virginia Corporate Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
