A "floor stocks tax" is an excise tax, change in tax rate or subsidy for a taxpayer's existing inventory.
A floor stocks provision ensures that all goods sold on or after the date of an excise tax increase or decrease are subject to the same amount of tax, regardless of whether the goods were held in inventory on the date of the tax increase or decrease (floor stocks date) or purchased or produced thereafter.
The equal treatment is achieved by applying the new tax rate or subsidy to goods held on the floor stocks date and assessing the additional tax (or refunding the reduced tax) on existing inventory.
