A Review of the Department of Energy's Energy Tax Policy Analysis

Gao ID: EMD-79-26 March 13, 1979

The failure by the Department of Energy (DOE) to analyze the energy effects of certain tax measures was reviewed.

With the exception of the National Energy Plan, DOE has made little or no contribution to the administration's tax policies affecting energy, has taken no formal position on tax issues, and has not analyzed the actual energy effects of major energy tax changes to see if further changes are in order.
