The US Medical Device Excise Tax (MDET) will come back into effect in 2018

Manufacturers and importers of taxable medical devices will be subject to a 2.3% tax on US sales.

  • Originally implemented in 2013 as part of the US Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA, or Obamacare),MDET imposed a 2.3% excise tax on manufacturers and importers of “taxable medical devices” sold in or imported to the US. Campaigns by industry trade groups as well as many US legislators to repeal MDET began even before the 2013 implementation; although those efforts did not succeed, the US government did place a moratorium on MDET whereby medical device companies were not liable for the tax from January 2016 to December 2017.
  • Now, medical device manufacturers and importers will have to report sales of taxable devices to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the first quarter of 2018 no later than April 30, 2018.

Any listed medical device that has a three-letter FDA product code falls under MDET requirements. Devices that currently have no FDA product codes assigned to them are not subject to the tax.

In short, most dental laboratories are not subject directly to the Medical Device Excise Tax. However, all dental laboratories will likely see increased costs for materials and equipment in 2018, as suppliers may increase costs to laboratories to offset the tax.

NADL previously published a Member Guide to the Medical Device Excise Tax to help outline what activities and/or products may trigger tax compliance for dental laboratories. The manual is available to members by emailing [email protected]

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table,
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for
peanuts anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.

Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him till
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid...

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me

FYI - Thanks to the Republicans in congress we got another 2 year deferral on the Medical device tax. Packaged in today's CR bill was a 2 year deferral on the tax. So if the bill is signed as is the tax would not kick back in until 2020. Now hopefully they can permanently repeal the tax so we don't keep going through this.

DIVISION DSuspension of certain health-related taxes
SEC. 4001. Extension of moratorium on medical device excise tax.

Section 4191(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by striking December 31, 2017 and inserting December 31, 2019 .

(b) Effective date.—The amendment made by this section shall apply to sales after December 31, 2017.

The thing is, there is bipartisan support for repealing it. Nobody likes it and every Rep/Senator has medical device manufacturers in their district or state. It's a very unpopular tax.

Popular with who? Because as far as I can tell most progressives have never seen a tax they don't like.
As long as it doesn't apply to them. Some animals are more equal.
