Used Clean Vehicle Credit | Internal Revenue Service
Used Clean Vehicle Credit | Internal Revenue Service
Beginning January 1, 2023, if you buy a qualified used electric vehicle (EV) or fuel cell vehicle (FCV) from a licensed dealer for $25,000 or less, you may be eligible for a used clean vehicle tax credit (also referred to as a previously owned clean vehicle credit). The credit equals 30% of the sale price up to a maximum credit of $4,000. The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years. Purchases made before 2023 don't qualify.

Bottle battle: Boston talks of banning tiny bottles of booze
Bottle battle: Boston talks of banning tiny bottles of booze
A Boston city councilor has proposed barring city liquor stores from selling the single-serve bottles that hold 100 milliliters or less of booze - both as a way to address alcohol abuse and excessive litter. Councilor Ricardo Arroyo says several other Massachusetts communities have banned the sale of the tiny bottles and the impact on public health and the environment has been tangible. But the proposed ban on minis is receiving pushback from the liquor industry. The Massachusetts Package Store Association says a ban would hurt locally owned businesses financially without addressing the underlying problems of litter and alcohol abuse.

Subsidizing Higher Education Is Not Creating Widespread External Benefits | Gary M. Galles
President Biden's student debt relief proposal created a storm of controversy. That is not surprising, since it was a transparent (and apparently successful) attempt to buy the votes of an important Democratic constituency, even though it created a target-rich environment for critics. It is sharply pro-rich at the expense of those far poorer, from a party pretending to stand for the opposite. It

New label law has unintended effect: Sesame in more foods
New label law has unintended effect: Sesame in more foods
A new federal law requiring that sesame be listed as an allergen on food labels is having unintended consequences — increasing the number of products with the ingredient. Food industry experts said the requirements are so stringent that many manufacturers, especially bakers, find it simpler and less expensive to add sesame to a product — and to label it — than to try to keep it away from other foods or equipment with sesame.
