Frequently Asked Questions

Why sell your credits with Basis?

Smaller sized tax credits (especially those below $2M) are hard to monetize; they fall below most buyers' tax needs and come with outsized transaction costs. Our standardized transfer process provides sellers a turnkey solution to transact quickly and easily at a fair price, so they can get back to developing and installing more clean energy projects.

What is the minimum and maximum tax credit size?

Our current minimum is $250k, but developers may combine credits from multiple projects into one transaction. Basis Climate has no maximum transaction size, but sellers of credits over $2M per transaction, you should go here.

Does the conditional offer cover transaction costs?

The conditional offer you’ll receive is net of transaction costs including our platform fee and standardized tax insurance. It’s the amount you’ll be paid on transfer. You’re still responsible for your own tax and legal counsel, as well as a cost segregation report.

How is pricing determined?

In short: it’s set by the market. Instead of negotiating the sale of each individual credit, we work with our network of buyers to establish a price point at which they can commit to buying credits of a particular profile. This gives sellers the confidence to transact and minimizes risk.

Is tax insurance required?

Yes, but we coordinate this procurement. Through our standardized insurance product, we’re able to lower transaction costs and provide buyers a straightforward approach to buying credits. For sellers, the diligence requirements and insurance coverage are part of our process.

What documents does the seller provide?

We need basic information from your credits to confirm your qualification to sell the credit, as well project-level information confirming the credit has been generated (i.e., the project is operational). Finally, a third party cost segregation report as well as IRS Pre-Filing registration numbers will be needed to sell the credit.

How do you select a buyer?

We match your tax credit’s profile (amount, project type, tax year) to buyers that are ready to transact and have committed to our small credit program.

What tax credits are accepted?

Investment tax credits (ITC) for solar, battery storage and EV charging technologies are currently accepted for Basis. The ITCs must be valued on a cost basis, not the fair market value.
