Weekly Policy Update: More Medical Device Tax News and the 2018 Farm Bill
The
House Ways and Means Committee this week released a new extenders package which included a 5-year extension on the medical device excise tax moratorium.
The 2.3% levy on the sale of prescribed medical devices was in effect between 2012 and 2014 after it was enacted through the Affordable Care Act in
2010, but the pushback from industry has led to several moratoriums. It received a 2-year delay extension earlier this year as part of a continuing
resolution.Under the new relief bill, the 2018 moratorium on the device tax would be extended until 31 December 2024.
