Coal And Potato Control Acts Revenues Puzzling
Washington observers on the House appropriations committee question the efficacy of new coal and potato control taxes. Subcommittee hearings show Guffey Coal Act revenues at about $10 million annually versus $900,000 estimated costs, while potato tax revenues cap at $200,000 with $1.75 million sought for revenue collection. Chairman Buchanan challenges the disparity and whether the coal industry bears a broader excise tax. The internal revenue official notes the aim is revenue, not just cost coverage.
