Revival of superfund tax and ripple effects across chemical space
Show Notes

What’s the ripple effect of the revived U.S. superfund-related tax across the chemistries and industries we serve?

The Smart Acids get serious with experts from both the tax and commercial side to discuss the superfund tax's ripple effects to 2030 and for years to come. Hear how it impacts both domestic manufacturers and importers and why chemical distributors may be positioned differently than brokers to deal with the change.

Episode Guests: Brian "The Taxman" Ritzenhaler (2:15), VP Tax, and Katrina "The Warden" Warnick (9:22), Senior International Trade Manager, Univar Solutions
