How to Get a Golf Cart Tax Rebate


One discovered loophole in a recent federal decision was the supply of from $4,200 to $5,500 under the golf cart tax rebate program. According to this act, if you possess an electric golf cart that meets all the requirements of a road vehicle, you can qualify for tax rebates.



  1. Buy an electric golf cart that travels
    15 to 25 miles an hour and retails at $7,500 to $10,000. The
    best place to buy one is from a golf cart dealership or auto shop.
    Buying it new increases the retail and the return tax amount.




  2. Once you have the title in your name,
    remodel the cart slightly to meet the safety standards of a
    road-worthy vehicle of transportation. Purchase two side mirrors and
    a rearview mirror and properly adjust them to the vehicle. This
    precaution ensures you meet all the safety standards necessary for a
    full tax rebate. The tax return normally guarantees 65 percent of
    the original retailed price, and may even be higher sometimes.




  3. Include secure seat belts to
    follow local laws requiring seat belts in every state. This
    guarantees that your vehicle is safe and transportable on the roads.
    You can buy them at a car dealership and install them yourself, or you might even be able to find some at a garage sale.




  4. Finally, maintain proper care of your
    road vehicle and if all previous requirements are included, a tax
    return of approximately $5,000 should be yours by April on tax
    return day.
