Botox tax replaced by tanning tax

Beauty business is still targeted for new tax…
(Politics Daily) Goodbye “Botax”, hello “Tan-tax”!
In the new package of changes to the health reform bill released Saturday morning, Senate leaders have cut out the much-discussed five-percent tax on elective cosmetic surgery, known as the Botox-tax. In its place, the bill will add a 10-percent tax on indoor tanning. According to the language in the bill, the tax would apply to golden glows that come from tanning beds that deliver UV radiation, not spray tans, and will come out of your pocket when you pay for your fresh-from-the-beach look.
The only good news for tanners is that the tax becomes effective on July 1, 2010, so fake sun seekers have the entire winter to enjoy the last round of tax-free tans.
