Tanning Tax Repeal Act of 2025

# Tanning Tax Repeal Act of 2025 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would eliminate a 10% federal excise tax on indoor tanning services that has been in place since 2010. If passed, tanning salons and their customers would no longer pay this tax on indoor tanning bed services. **Who It Affects:** The primary groups affected would be tanning salon businesses and their customers. The bill could also impact federal government revenue, as the tanning tax currently generates money for the federal budget.

Additionally, public health advocates have noted that the tax was partly intended to discourage indoor tanning due to health concerns. **Current Status:** As of now, the bill (HR 1940) is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. Representative Carol D. Miller, a Republican from West Virginia, introduced the bill in the 119th Congress.
