Restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues that sell alcohol would be most directly affected. These businesses could potentially reduce their tax payments by investing in new, energy-efficient stainless steel or aluminum kegs and commercial tap equipment. This financial incentive is designed to encourage them to upgrade their current systems, which could lead to lower operating costs over time.
Manufacturers and suppliers of energy-efficient kegs and tap equipment could also see increased demand for their products as businesses take advantage of the new tax deduction.
