Replace All Federal Taxes on Income with the Fair Tax Act , HR 25

First in a Series of Hearings on Fundamental Tax Reform

Chairman Camp Announces First in a Series of Hearings on Fundamental Tax Reform
First Ways and Means Hearing of the 112th Congress to Examine the Burdens Imposed by the Current Federal Income Tax System and the Need for Reform
Hearing Date: Thursday, January 20, 2011

FOCUS OF THE HEARING:

The hearing will examine the economic and administrative burdens imposed by the current structure of the Federal income tax.  It will explore the cost of complexity borne by American families, the cost of a corporate tax system that is increasingly out-of-step with the rest of the world, and the broader cost to the U.S. economy of a tax system that fails to maximize job creation and impedes economic growth.
 
In announcing this hearing, Chairman Camp said, “This hearing marks the beginning of a dialogue that the President and the Congress – both Republicans and Democrats – must have with the American people about broad-based tax reform that will allow families to thrive and employers to create jobs.  With nine out of ten families either hiring tax preparers or purchasing tax software in order to file their taxes, it is clear that the tax code is too complex, too time-consuming and too costly for our families and businesses.  We have one of the highest corporate tax rates in the world, and our small businesses are struggling with continued uncertainty about individual tax rates and new regulations.  It is this Committee’s responsibility to examine ways to reform the code so that it won’t be a continued barrier to economic growth and job creation.”
