Sorry for being obtuse - I can't quite figure this out. My quick take would be that if your marginal tax rate is greater than 30% you would want to take the rebate first then calculate the 30% tax credit, if less than 30% than calculate the credit on the full cost and treat the rebate as income. What am I missing?
