## Summary

**Repeals the 12% federal retail excise tax on heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers.** This bill would remove that tax from the Internal Revenue Code and make a set of linked code edits, including new definitions for tires and a narrow "mobile machinery" exception. - Truck buyers and fleet operators: Sales and installations of heavy trucks, tractors, and trailers on or after enactment would no longer carry the 12% federal excise tax.

That changes paperwork and tax treatment for sellers and could affect claims for credits or refunds tied to the old tax. - Tax rules and definitions: Conforming amendments rewrite multiple Internal Revenue Code sections and add a three-part definition of "mobile machinery" and new tire rules to align treatment with the repeal.
