What is the FairTax?
The FairTax plan is a comprehensive proposal that replaces all federal income and payroll based taxes with an integrated approach including a progressive national retail sales tax, a prebate to ensure no American pays federal taxes on spending up to the poverty level, dollar-for-dollar federal revenue neutrality, and, through companion legislation, the repeal of the 16th Amendment.
The FairTax Act (HR 25, S 1025) is nonpartisan legislation. It abolishes all federal personal and corporate income taxes, gift, estate, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxes and replaces them with one simple, visible, federal retail sales tax administered primarily by existing state sales tax authorities.
The FairTax taxes us only on what we choose to spend on new goods or services, not on what we earn. The FairTax is a fair, efficient, transparent, and intelligent solution to the frustration and inequity of our current tax system.
True Tax Reform
Scholarly research tells u that the Fairtax has the broadest base and the lowest rate of any single-rate tax reform plan.
FairTax.org has conducted extensive non-partisan policy research and commissioned a variety of white papers on the economic impact of the FairTax. These papers cover
various sectors of industry, individual taxpayers and potential hurdles in adopting a new tax system. In addition, testimony about the
FairTax has been delivered to the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Committee on Small Business.
Our Vision
Georgians for Fair Taxation is a grassroots, volunteer, nonprofit, non-partisan, single-issue organization that envisions enactment of a simple, transparent, fair tax code to replace the current income tax system with a national retail consumption tax.
Our Mission
GFFT will organize and lead a Georgian-based grassroots movement to advocate the successful passage and implementation of the legislation hereinafter referred to as The FairTax.
About Us
Georgians For Fair Taxation (GFFT) was formed in 2009 as a 501(c)4 grassroots, non-partisan, non-profit, educational organization. The purpose of this organization was to unite the fragmented efforts of FairTax supporters across the state of Georgia. GFFT is closely associated with Americans For Fair Taxation (AFFT), our national organization and founder of the FairTax movement, and operates solely to support their efforts to secure passage of HR25/S296, the FairTax bills before congress.
