The Chemical Tax Repeal Act would eliminate federal excise taxes on certain chemicals and taxable substances that were established under previous tax law. The bill would repeal the relevant tax provisions in the Internal Revenue Code, affecting chemical manufacturers and producers who currently pay these taxes. The legislation, introduced by Senator Ted Cruz and co-sponsored by several Republican senators, would take effect retroactively on January 1, 2025. The bill does not specify alternative funding sources or revenue replacements, meaning repeal would reduce federal tax revenue from this source. As of the introduction date in February 2025, the bill had been referred to the Senate Committee on Finance for consideration.
