Tax Credit for Retreaded Truck Tires and Federal Fleet Usage Mandate.

This Act establishes a new tax credit for truck fleets purchasing retreaded tires made in the U.S., aiming to support domestic jobs and supply chain security. Furthermore, federal agencies are required to prioritize the use of retreaded tires when available, promoting sustainability and cost savings in government operations.
Key points
New Tax Credit: Truck fleets can claim a credit of up to 30% of the cost (or $30 per tire, whichever is less) for qualified retreaded tires.
Domestic Production Requirement: The credit applies only to tires retreaded and purchased within the United States, supporting local manufacturing.
Federal Mandate: Government agencies must order retreaded tires instead of new ones if they are available on the GSA schedule, enhancing sustainability efforts.
Credit Duration: The tax credit is effective for tires placed in service after December 31, 2024, and terminates after December 31, 2027.
