Posts - Bill - HR 1494 Sporting Goods Excise Tax Modernization Act
house 02/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to modernize tax regulations by introducing the Sporting Goods Excise Tax Modernization Act, which aims to treat certain marketplace providers as importers for the excise tax on sporting goods. This change seeks to ensure a fair application of taxes on imported sporting goods sold through online platforms, aligning tax responsibilities with current marketplace dynamics.
