Lower taxes for bars and restaurants' draft gear
If enacted, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues could treat certain energy‑efficient draft tanks and taps as energy‑efficient building property. This would let them claim a Section 179D tax deduction and lower business taxes. The gear must be stainless steel or aluminum containers and related commercial tap equipment used to serve alcohol. It would also need to meet Section 179D energy‑efficiency tests and be used mainly in those businesses. The change would apply to equipment placed in service after December 31, 2024. Treasury would issue rules, including for rented or leased equipment.
