This obviously does not apply to any of the popular electric motorcycles but if you in Oklahoma you might want to look into this further...

GKU customers,

We have recently been getting some calls that your tax credits on the Ruff and Tuff  electric vehicles and the Tomberlin electric vehicles have been denied.  The next step for you is to appeal their decision. There is an appeal process in place in the event that you are denied.  These tax credits have been taken and approved in past years and the customers have received their tax credits. You also have the right to this tax credit and you need to continue forward with your appeal.

Our attorneys Mitchel, Gaston, Riffle & Riffel have made and offer for  GKU and for Ada Electric Cars to help you with your Administrative Appeal. These attorneys have researched and have the information needed to help toward a successful appeal. They are charging $150.00 for our customers. There is a flyer attached to this message.
 
We are still in litigation against the OTC and its commissioners regarding these tax credits.  We do not have a date set yet on this case. We will let you know when our court date has been scheduled.  Our attorneys are working on all the information to take to trial.

We are so sorry for any inconvenience to our customers in this stressful situation, it has also changed our lives.  We only want the best for all who have done business with GKU.  We do understand your concerns, but in view of the past years tax credits being issued and the law we are confident that you will receive your tax credit. We would like you to keep contacting your State Representatives , they work for us and we need to know there is someone representing us that can protect our “rights”. If they can’t we need to get someone in there that will. We, as Americans have the right not to be bullied by the ones we elect or are appointed, and abuse their power.


Attached is a sample letter from one of our customers, that may let you know how others are responding.


We also cannot give any other legal or tax information and you need to contact your attorney or tax professional.


Thank You so very much for your patience and  understanding.

GKU Electric Vehicles

RE:    Protest Tax Adjustment Dated _____, 2010

511CR Electric Car Credit


Protest is made of the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s denial of the Oklahoma Electric Motor Vehicle Tax Credit claimed on my 2009 tax return.  Notice of the tax adjustment is attached for ready reference.
 
I purchased a _____________ from GKU Electric Vehicles, LLC on _______, 2009.  I have attached a copy of the invoice verifying this transaction and the purchase date.  The vehicle purchase qualified for the tax credit on the date of purchase and fully met the statutory definition of a qualified electric motor vehicle property as set forth in 68 O.S. Section 2357.22.  Qualification of my purchase for the tax credit is demonstrated and evidenced by the Oklahoma Tax Commission’s acceptance, since January 1, 1996 of the same of essentially similar motor vehicles, including vehicles from this manufacturer.   

On September 17, 2009, after I purchased my electric motor vehicle, the Oklahoma Tax Commission issued an emergency ruling in an apparent attempt to exclude the purchase of certain motor vehicles from the income tax credit.  Please note this was only a ruling and not a change to the statute.  Note also, that the regulation, if applied to my purchase, would result in an arbitrary and unequal application of 68 O.S Section 2357.22.  By its terms, the September 17, 2009 regulation does not state that it applies retroactively, nor could it have lawfully applied retroactively.  Accordingly, the regulation cannot form the basis of the tax credit denial in the instance of a qualified purchase completed on _______, 2009.  Apparently, the Tax Commission will not apply the regulation retroactively across all similar purchases; therefore, the Tax Commission’s denial of the tax credit in my instance is an arbitrary and unequal application of 68 O.S. Section 2357.22. 

Article 68 of the Oklahoma Statute, which is referenced below, along with the previous actions of the Oklahoma Tax Commission over a period of 13 years qualified my purchase of electric motor vehicle property for the tax credit claimed on my return.

The Oklahoma Tax Commission adjustment to my 2009 Oklahoma Income Tax Return is an error on Form 511 Line 17 – Other Credits (511CR) in the amount of $_______.  This adjustment will create a refund (net of Line 18 – Balance of $______) in the amount of $_______.  Please electronically credit the account number provided on my return.   

Sincerely,
