Washington, D.C. – Following the release of guidance by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS for the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code), National Association of Manufacturers Managing Vice President of Policy Chris Netram released the following statement:

“Manufacturers welcome today’s announcement of final guidance on the 45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit and appreciate the administration’s willingness to make improvements that support manufacturing in the U.S. In particular, including critical mineral extraction and materials costs in the credit calculation will help bolster supply chain resiliency throughout the manufacturing sector. This tax credit will help manufacturers build a strong and sustainable domestic advanced manufacturing supply chain—from mining to processing to final product assembly.”
