Golf cart tax credit
Want a free golf cart?
Move to Oklahoma! A federal tax rebate currently allows people
buying street-legal golf carts to write off $4,200 to $5,500 of
the cost. Add in the state rebate in Oklahoma and your golf cart is
free. (Although Oklahoma may have figured out this loophole and
be working to fix it.)
Even if you don't live
in Oklahoma, now might be a time to buy that golf cart for your
homestead. We've been thrilled at the way our
electric golf cart acts as a utility vehicle on the farm, hauling
leaves, firewood, and bodies (living, of course.) It runs through
the mud with ease, only has to be charged every month or two, and
hardly ever breaks down.
Right now, I believe the
only types of golf cart that fit the federal subsidy are made by
Tomberlin and Star, the cheapest models of which can cost as little as
$2,000 once you take your tax credit. It sounds like a great
deal, but some folks suspect these cheaply bought but sturdily
constructed golf carts will be available used starting next year for
extremely small sums. So maybe it'd be better to wait and save
even more....
