Tax Reform Bill Supports American Offshore Energy
Washington, D.C. – NOIA President Randall Luthi issued the follow statement after the House of Representatives passed tax reform legislation:
“Today’s timely passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by the House of Representatives means modernization of the tax code is one step closer to becoming reality. American businesses and workers, including those involved in offshore energy production, have long needed a fairer and more competitive tax system. If the U.S. is to become energy dominant, American businesses and workers need a tax system and regulatory environment that provide certainty, clarity and simplicity. NOIA encourages Congress to continue to fine tune this tax reform legislation to complement America’s “all of the above” energy strategy and bring much needed jobs, investment and business opportunities back to America.
“Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) and House Committee on Ways and Means Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX), along with all of the bill’s supporters, deserve our thanks and congratulations for a job well done. NOIA looks forward to working with the Senate in the next steps of the legislative process.”
