Reform the harbor maintenance tax
Article Abstract:
Reform measures should be undertaken to reduce harbor taxes to their pre-1991 rates. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 increased tax fees to 0.125% from the original 0.04% as stipulated in the 1986 Water Resources Development Act. Aside from the lack of enforcement procedures, the increase has resulted in a decline in profits for intermodal transportation. Realizing the need to improve profits and keep up with international competition, the shipping industry and various port authorities have backed HR 5896 which shall roll back the Harbor Maintenance Tax to its original level.
