E-book Title: Tax Audit - Coal Excise Tax Edition
Book Description: Section 4121 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes an excise tax on domestically produced coal. The taxes collected on the sales of coal are deposited to the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund to finance payments of black lung benefits to afflicted miners.
BLACK LUNG
The Black Lung Benefits Act of 1977 was enacted by Congress to compensate individuals afflicted with the disease known as pneumoconiosis or "black lung disease." Inhaling coal dust for prolonged periods of time, usually at least 10 years, causes black lung disease. In the early stages, black lung disease does not cause respiratory impairment. However, impairment eventually occurs and despite avoidance of further exposure, death usually occurs within a few years.
Producers of coal in the United States are liable for the tax upon the first sale or use of the coal. The producer is the person who has vested interest in the coal immediately after its severance from the ground without regard to the existence of any contractual arrangements for the sale or other disposition of the coal or the payment of any royalties between the producer and third parties.
