PRESIDENT TRUMP IS CRACKING DOWN ON WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE!
BUT FOREIGN TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE GAMING THE SYSTEM
“The “double duty drawback” loophole for tobacco allows foreign companies to play a game that ultimately has the federal government refunding the federal excise tax on imported cigarettes.”
“The fact that foreign tobacco companies are getting a free tax pass while our businesses and workers are penalized adds insult to injury”
- Rep. Brad Wenstrup, The Washington Reporter
THE COST TO YOU
THIS UNFAIR LOOPHOLE COSTS AMERICAN TAXPAYERS $12 BILLION OVER 10 YEARS
IF CONGRESS CAN’T AGREE ON COMMONSENSE
PRESIDENT TRUMP ALREADY TRIED CLOSING THIS LOOPHOLE
PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUGHT TO CLOSE THIS LOOPHOLE IN 2018, BUT COURTS BLOCKED IT IN 2021
REPUBLICANS IN THE HOUSE ARE FIGHTING TO FIX THIS
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill to close this loophole.
House Republicans' bill ensures foreign companies pay their fair share, reducing the deficit without burdening American taxpayers.
Foreign Tobacco Lobbyists Now Working Overtime!
Foreign tobacco's only hope remains with lobbyists working to strip this provision from President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” in the dead of night in the U.S. Senate.
No corporation should rip money away from the American taxpayer to pad their bottom line—especially foreign cigarette manufacturers.
