For purposes of section 38, the retreaded tire credit for any taxable year is an amount equal to the sum of the credit amounts determined under subsection (b) with respect to the taxpayer for the taxable year.

The Secretary shall issue such regulations and guidance as the Secretary determines necessary to carry out the purposes of this section.

No credit shall be determined under this section with respect to qualified retreaded tires placed in service after December 31, 2028.
