Rep Power: 0 | Any chance Tan Tax will get Axed? With GOP taking control of Senate and Congress and the talk of repealing some of Obamacare , Anyone think there is a chance the Tan tax will be eliminated? Or is it here to stay? Thoughts? |

Rep Power: 0 | Re: Any chance Tan Tax will get Axed? There is a solid opportunity to repeal the tan tax as a part of revising Obamacare. They are already talking about ending the medical device tax which also is part of Obamacare. No justifiable reason to end one and not the other. Except that the medical device industry is lining the pockets of every senator and congressman. The other aspect that we need to voice up about is the financial damage that has been done to tanning salon owners and their employees by a tax that has raised very little net revenue. Here's a good read that touches on it: http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-bl...me-tanning-tax |

Rep Power: 22 | Re: Any chance Tan Tax will get Axed? ^^^The Tan Tax has had hardly any affect of financial damage to salon owners. It's simply a non-issue, and no big deal. Don't blame the tax for the demise of this industry, and no it won't be repelled. Last edited by parrot head; 11-07-2014 at 08:44 AM. Reason: added |

Rep Power: 11 | Re: Any chance Tan Tax will get Axed? Tan Tax hasn't affected me however It is unfair and unjust and I will do my part in trying to push our elected leaders to repeal it. I believe the 8,000 salons that closed might have done so because they weren't on the up and up to begin with in regards to the IRS and they knew that a microscope was likely to be placed over a large portion of the industry and instead of possibly being caught or audited "which is enough alone to cause a heart attack" They said screw it let's sell the equipment and get into something else. Same thing we would all do if we were in their shoes. |
