H. RES. 29
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Federal excise
tax rates should not be increased.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
JANUARY 5, 1993
Mr. NEAL of North Carolina submitted the following resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Ways and Means
RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that
Federal excise tax rates should not be increased.
Whereas the Federal Government imposes excise taxes on a
variety of items, including cigarettes, wine, beer, distilled
spirits, gasoline, telephone services, and air transpor-
tation;
Whereas Federal excise tax revenues were $36.8 billion in
1988 which was 3.9 percent of all Federal revenues for
that year;
Whereas State governments depend heavily on excise taxes to
finance essential services, and increases in Federal excise
taxes during this decade have (by reducing consumption)
already reduced State revenues by $3.7 billion and will
cost them that much again before 1994;
HRES 29 IH
Whereas Federal excise taxes are imposed on transactions re-
gardless of the income levels of the consumers and as
such are regressive taxes which cause economic hardships
to those least capable of paying additional taxes;
Whereas the Tax Reform Act of 1986 was designed to assist
low and middle income taxpayers and any increase in ex-
cise tax rates would directly contradict the intent of that
Act;
Whereas increasing selective taxes such as excise taxes is bad
budgetary policy in attempting to meet the deficit reduc-
tion targets; and
Whereas no sound policy basis exists to support proposals to
increase the current Federal excise tax rates: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that Federal excise tax rates should not be
increased.
