Coalition Letter to Ways and Means Committee on Percentage Depletion Tax Deduction
As the Ways and Means Committee considers possible tax changes in connection with budget reconciliation legislation, the undersigned organizations urge you to retain the present-law percentage depletion tax deduction. The percentage depletion deduction contributes significantly to the role U.S. mineral, coal, natural stone, aggregates, and independent oil and gas producers play in fostering continued American economic prosperity. Maintaining a strong natural resources production sector and limiting our dependence on foreign production is critical to the growth of the U.S. economy.
