How to Receive a Tax Credit for Heating with Bioheat® Fuel

The state of New York offers a significant tax credit for homes and businesses that use Bioheat® fuel for space and water heating. You can get as much as 20 cents per gallon back as a tax credit! Use this checklist to see if you qualify for the tax credit:

1. You live in New York State.

   Tax credits are available to residential homes in NY or businesses owned by residents.

2. You use Bioheat® fuel for space heating and/or water heating.

   Bioheat® fuel must be used for space heating and/or water heating to qualify for the tax credit. Bioheat® fuel is a blend of traditional liquid heating fuel with renewable biodiesel that is compatible with existing fuel tanks, boilers, furnaces, and hot water heaters.

3. The Bioheat® fuel you use has at least 6% biodiesel content.

   To qualify for the tax credit, the Bioheat® fuel used for space heating and/or water heating must have at least 6% biodiesel content. Most fuel providers in New York deliver this blend or higher, but it’s a good idea to double-check with your heating company to confirm the blend of Bioheat® fuel they deliver to you.

If you meet these three requirements, you’re good to go! Click here to read all of the details about the clean heating fuel credit in NY.
