- This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the 2013 Medical Device Excise Tax (Medical Device Tax) and its applicability to medical devices intended for marketing and sale in the U.S.
Why Should You Attend:
The Medical Device Tax applies to any medical device falling within the definition of a device in Section 201(h) of the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act ("FDCA"). The FDCA defines the term "device" very broadly to include instruments, machines, implants and in vitro reagents, among others. For the tax to apply, the device must be marketed and sold for use in humans.
This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview of the application of the new Medical Device Excise Tax. It will also examine Congressional efforts to repeal the tax that was meant to help pay for $29 billion of the costs of the new healthcare law or Affordable Care Act of 2010.
