What Is the Ozone-Depleting
Chemicals (ODC) Tax (IRS No. 98)?

The Ozone-Depleting Chemicals (ODC) Tax is a federal environmental excise tax imposed under Internal Revenue Code Section 4681 on the production or importation of ozone-depleting chemicals into the United States.

This tax is designed to discourage the use and import of chemicals that damage the earth's ozone layer and to promote the transition to environmentally safer alternatives. The tax applies to both domestically produced ODCs and ODCs imported directly or indirectly through taxable products.

Who Is Responsible for Paying This Tax?

The responsibility for paying the Ozone-Depleting Chemicals tax generally falls on:

  • Manufacturers of ozone-depleting chemicals within the United States
  • Importers of ozone-depleting chemicals
  • Importers of taxable products that contain or are manufactured using ODCs

The liable party must file Form 720 (Quarterly Federal Excise Tax Return) and attach Form 6627 to compute the environmental tax accurately.

Key Points
  • The ODC tax is an environmental excise tax reported under Part II of Form 720.
  • It applies to the production or importation of ozone-depleting chemicals listed in IRC §4682.
  • The tax rate varies by chemical, based on its ozone-depletion potential and is adjusted annually for inflation.
  • The tax may also apply to imported products that contain or are manufactured using ODCs.
  • Certain exemptions and credits may apply, including exports and qualified uses.
  • The ODC tax is calculated using Form 6627 (Environmental Taxes) and carried to Form 720.
