Windfall Profits Tax on Crude Oil and Rebates for Citizens.

This act introduces a new windfall profits tax on large oil companies that extract or import crude oil. The collected funds are intended to be rebated to individual taxpayers as a credit to help offset gasoline costs. The goal is to alleviate financial burdens associated with high gas prices.
Key points
New tax for large oil companies: Companies extracting or importing over 300,000 barrels of crude oil daily will pay an additional tax on profits when Brent crude oil prices exceed the 2015-2019 average.
Money rebates for citizens: Funds collected will be returned to citizens as tax credits to help cover gasoline expenses.
Rebate limitations: The rebate amount will depend on income, with higher-income individuals receiving reduced or no rebates.
Prompt payments: Rebates are intended to be paid within 90 days after the end of the quarter in which the tax was collected.
