ISEE received a call from one of our members asking if we had heard about the Superfund Excise Tax being reinstated and being DOUBLED. A check with our friends at the Institute of Makers of Explosives (IME) told us "yes" this is the case.
The tax had previously expired on Dec. 31, 1995. The reinstated tax applies to the manufacture of 42 taxable chemicals (including ammonia) and 121 taxable substances (including imported ammonium nitrate).
Here is an article that describes how the tax will apply. https://www.forbes.com/sites/lynnmucenskikeck/2022/07/25/superfund-excise-tax-is-catching-many-companies-by-surprise/
The IRS has also issued extensive guidance on the implementation of the tax. https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/irs-issues-superfund-chemical-excise-taxes-faqs
A big shout out and thank you to our friends at the IME. Please check out their website at https://www.ime.org.
