Senate trims oil depletion allowance to twenty three percent
The Senate limited the oil depletion deduction from 27 42 percent to 23 percent after defeating amendments seeking 22 percent or retaining 20 percent. The vote reflected a long fight by tax reformers to curb the allowance, with broader impact on revenue and distribution of tax relief. The House had proposed 20 percent and the final figure yields about $175 million in annual revenue versus $445 million from the House plan.
