Key Findings
 The Biden administration's budget proposals have several provisions focused
on raising taxes on the U.S. fossil fuel industry.
 These proposals largely depart from neutral tax policy and intentionally target
the industry.
 Internal Revenue Service data does not indicate any substantial tax
preference for the fossil fuel industry, rather indicating the industry pays
relatively high levels of tax.
 Raising taxes on U.S. production and ownership of fossil fuel, both
domestically and abroad, mainly disadvantages U.S. companies and workers
in favor of foreign suppliers.
 Taxing fossil fuel consumption, for example through user fees or more
comprehensively through a carbon tax, would avoid the problem of creating
preferences for foreign-owned fossil fuel.
