Excise taxes and credits

Opportunities and risk management for excise taxes and credits

Middle market companies like yours are especially affected by excise taxes, no matter what your industry. A broad range of products and services often fall under the diverse categories taxed by both federal and state governments. Each tax has unique rules, regulations and compliance procedures that come with costs, risks and opportunities. The taxes and credits affecting your company may include:

  • Motor fuel tax and credits
  • Heavy trucks and trailers taxes
  • Clean fuels credits
  • Manufacturers taxes (tires, sporting goods and firearms, etc.)
  • Heavy-vehicle highway use tax
  • Air transportation taxes
  • Superfund taxes
  • Environmental taxes
