LNG tax equalization legislation introduced in US Senate

摘要

The recently introduced LNG Excise Tax Equalization Act of 2013 would move to equitably tax LNG as a transportation fuel in the LLS., Resnet News reported. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO) and Richard Burr (R-NC). Similar legislation was also recently introduced in the U.S. House. Under current law, the excise tax on both diesel and LNG is set at 24.3 cents per gallon.
