U.S. House Passes Pro-Business, Pro-Conservation Excise Tax Legislation
The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax Improvement Act of 2010. This bipartisan bill, co-sponsored by Representatives Ron Kind and Paul Ryan, allows firearms and ammunition manufacturers to pay excise taxes on a quarterly basis instead of bi-weekly. This change aims to support industry growth, product development, and reinvestment, while correcting a long-standing inequity in the tax code. The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where it is sponsored as S.632 by Senators Marcus and Crapo.
