Tanning Tax: Proposed 10% Tax on Tanning Salons Would Raise $2.7 Billion for Health Care Reform
The latest from Washington is that patrons of tanning salons will be hit with a 10% tanning tax – raising an estimated $2.7 billion over 10 years to pay for health care reform. While this replaces the proposed 5% “BoTax” on plastic surgery providers, we know this won’t be the last we’ll hear from the IRS.
President Obama is optimistic about the passage of the Health Care Bill, which is set to provide some 30 million Americans currently without health insurance affordable coverage, and the administration is looking at creative ways to acquire funding without raising the federal deficit.

No one is safe from the IRS. In addition to the tanning salon tax and other pending tax hikes to combat the rising deficit and growing tax gap, the IRS is also looking at collection tactics that are more politically appealing than raising taxes - so taxpayers beware! In addition to scrutinizing your tanning practices, they are also more aggressively scrutinizing your tax returns. And if you owe any back taxes – regardless of your tax bracket or how much you bronze – the IRS will find you!!
