Coal Tax Changes May Hit U S Coal Industry
Lawmakers consider shrinking the percentage depletion allowance for coal under a House tax reform plan. Price Waterhouse estimates an $800 million hit to the coal sector over five years, potentially raising costs and reducing competitiveness against oil, natural gas, and foreign coal. Industry officials warn local economies could suffer job losses if production falls. House supporters say reform keeps tax changes in play while seeking better coal language.
