FairTax Act of 2025
The FairTax Act of 2025 would repeal federal income tax, payroll taxes (Social Security and Medicare), and estate and gift taxes, replacing them with a national sales tax. It would impose a 23% tax on the final consumption of goods and services in 2027, with rates adjusting based on federal tax rates. The bill includes a monthly rebate for qualifying families based on the poverty level to offset the tax burden on lower-income households. It would establish a cooperative tax administration system between federal and state governments, with states collecting the tax under certain conditions. The tax would sunset if the 16th Amendment (which allows for income taxes) is not repealed within 7 years of enactment.
