Principal Steve Jawetz (Washington, DC) joined Bloomberg Tax’s Daily Tax Report podcast for the episode “Infrastructure Bill Reignites Superfund Tax Debate,” where he discussed the implications of the Senate-passed infrastructure bill’s Superfund tax provisions. Steve argues that the tax is unfairly targeted and should not be characterized as a “polluter pays” tax, as the funds raised are largely intended to finance cleanups at sites where no financial viable parties with potential liability have been identified.
