PFAS Cleanup Act

This bill would create a federal tax on PFAS chemicals, which are man-made chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. Manufacturers, producers, and importers would pay a tax equal to 45 percent of the sale price, and companies that make and use the chemicals themselves would be taxed based on market value. The bill would also create a tax credit equal to 25 percent of what owners or operators of public water systems spend to remove PFAS when levels exceed federal drinking water limits. Public water systems could receive this credit as a direct payment. Both changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.
