12 August 2025 Tuesday, August 26 | Tax credits and 'foreign entity of concern' under H.R. 1 - What companies need to know and consider now (2 pm ET) Legislation (H.R. 1) signed on July 4 takes a comprehensive approach to tax credits that support healthcare, housing, innovation, and domestic manufacturing, in addition to energy-related initiatives. The Act rolls back many individual and residential clean energy incentives from the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), phases out wind and solar projects sooner, and adds additional foreign-entity-of-concern (FEOC) requirements for the majority of the energy tax credits. The IRA’s provisions related to direct pay and transferability remain in place. In addition to H.R. 1, an executive order (EO) President Trump issued July 7 directed the Treasury Secretary to strictly enforce these changes, including implementing tighter rules on what qualifies as “beginning of construction” and limits on safe harbor provisions, creating new complexity for energy and fuel project developers and investors. The EO also directed Treasury to provide more guidance on the complex FEOC restrictions related to energy tax credits and how these restrictions may apply to various tax credits beyond energy.
