The Energy Independence Act of 1986 amends the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 to impose a tax on the importation of crude oil and petroleum products. The Act would impose an excise tax on the first sale of any imported oil following importation, with the tax rates declining to 20% of the 1986-1987 rate in increments of 20% per year to 1991. Rates for imported petroleum products add an additional adjustment for environmental outlay. The tax does not apply to exports. The bill outlines procedures for determining prices and making adjustments for environmental outlay and inflation. The bill was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.
