Paying a Fair Share Act of 2025

HR 2534, the Paying a Fair Share Act of 2025, would impose a new tax on individual taxpayers with adjusted gross income exceeding $1 million (adjusted annually for inflation), effective for tax years beginning after 2024. The tax rate would be 30% of the amount by which a taxpayer's income exceeds $1 million, after accounting for charitable contributions. This provision applies only to individuals (not corporations) and is projected to generate significant revenue by requiring the highest earners to pay a larger share of taxes, with sponsors estimating it would reduce the federal deficit by billions annually.
