Distillers won a reprieve from Congress on Tuesday, as lawmakers moved closer to approving a one-year extension for a popular tax cut that benefits certain alcohol producers.

The extension was tucked into a broader package of tax and spending changes that lawmakers are expected to vote on this week. Congress must pass the agreement by Friday to avoid a government shutdown.

The tax package also renewed an expired credit for companies that use biodiesel fuel, deductions for mortgage insurance premiums and a more rapid depreciation for race horses, among other provisions.

The tax cut for alcoholic-beverage producers, known as the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act, was originally passed as a two-year provision in the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. The legislation reduced the amount that all distilleries paid on the first 100,000 proof gallons from $13.50 to $2.70 (a proof gallon is a gallon of spirits at 50 percent alcohol).
