Meet Atlanta, Georgia Plastic Surgeon John LeRoy, MD
Proposed Tax on Cosmetic Surgery Procedures Replaced by Tanning Bed Tax
Posted on December 22, 2009 7:49AM in Dr. LeRoy's Blog
Good news for cosmetic surgery patients and surgeons: the Senate has thrown out the proposed tax on elective cosmetic surgical and non surgical procedures! After much opposition to the proposed 5 percent excise tax (read more), the bill now proposes a 10 percent increase on indoor tanning.
We expect similar opposition to this proposal, because like the proposed cosmetic surgery tax, a tax on tanning beds would also disproportionately affect women.
Hopefully this is the end of the discussion on taxing medical procedures, but we will continue to keep you updated!
