Title: Alcohol Fuels Tax Incentives
Authors: Salatore Lazzari, Resources, Science, and Industry Division 
Abstract: This report explains the provisions of the new alcohol fuels mixtures tax credit and compares the tax benefits under the new credit with the tax benefits under the old exemption. An example illustrates the mechanics of the new credit and compares it with the old exemption. The second section examines the revenue and Highway Trust Fund implications of the new tax incentive both with and without a renewable fuels standard. The final section discusses the remaining three tax subsidies for alcohol fuels, which, although little used, are nevertheless part of the current federal tax laws and might be used in the future.
