WATERTOWN, Mass., Oct. 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- TRU
Development explains FET and discusses why it's better to buy truck
tires that include FET tax.
What is FET?
FET is an acronym that simply stands for federal excise tax. In
particular regard to truck tires, the FET is imposed on tires
strictly manufactured for and used on the public roadways. The FET
is levied typically against medium and heavy-duty truck/trailer
tires with a maximum load capacity greater than 3,500 pounds.
Details of how the tax is calculated can be found on the U.S.
government website.
Any tires that are not used for road travel are exempt from this
tax. These exemptions may include but are not limited to farm
machinery, forestry vehicles, off-road vehicles, tractors or
ATVs (all-terrain vehicles).
Why is FET in the news?
FET is in the news mostly because the U.S. is in the process of
renegotiating trade arrangements with China. Part of this process involves reducing
and/or raising taxes on certain products.
This affects truck tires to the extent that many companies own
manufacturing facilitates in China
or have their brands manufactured there.
If the taxes are increased, ultimately it affects the selling
price of the tire, which is then passed on to the driver or
transportation company.
FET taxes are unavoidable and until or unless the tire retailers
and manufacturers can change the current tax rate, there is no way
to know when the tax may change or how much it may increase.
FET and Road Warrior Tires
Road Warrior tires become an even better value.
When prices increase, the best strategy for managing
lower costs is to get the best product for the best price.
Road Warrior Tires are manufactured to the highest quality
standards and backed by a 60,000-mile warranty. Road Warrior tires
also provide customer service that goes above and beyond
what can be expected from many online retailers. Thousands of
customer reviews will tell customer service is more than lip
service. When new tires for a truck or trailer are needed, it can
make the decision easy. Pick the best quality at the best price
with excellent service. Road Warrior Tires will do the rest.
