Georgia Republican Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter on Jan. 9 introduced H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act, a bill which would replace the current tax code with a national consumption tax known as the “Fair Tax.”
The Fair Tax would be a single national consumption tax, according to Carter’s bill.

In addition to eliminating all personal and corporate income taxes, the death tax, gift taxes, and the payroll tax, the Fair Tax would also “eliminate the need for the Internal Revenue Service,” Carter, who represents Georgia’s 1st Congressional District, said in a press release.
“The Fair Tax is exactly that – fair. It is the only tax proposal out there that is pro-growth, simple, and allows Americans to keep every cent of their hard-earned money, while eliminating the need for the IRS altogether. I’m proud to lead this Georgia-grown legislation that puts the American people, not bureaucrats, in charge of their tax rate,” Carter said.
Co-sponsors include: Republican Reps. Andrew Clyde of Georgia, John Carter on Texas, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Eric Burlison of Missouri, John Rutherford of Florida, Warren Davidson of Ohio, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Dale Strong of Alabama, Rich McCormick of Georgia, Barry Loudermilk of Georgia, and Andy Harris of Maryland.
“Hardworking Americans should not need a team of lawyers or accountants to fill out their taxes – they need a simple system that encourages growth and innovation. Taxpayers should not have IRS agents targeting them for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money. That’s why I’m proud to support this Georgia-led legislation – to simplify our tax code and ensure more Americans have an opportunity to achieve the American Dream,” Loudermilk said.
“I’m proud to once again support The Fair Tax Act. This legislation provides a commonsense solution to eliminate the need for the weaponized IRS, simplify our tax code, and foster economic prosperity. It’s time to enact the Fair Tax so we can empower hardworking taxpayers and make the American Dream affordable again,” said Clyde.
“The Fair Tax Act would streamline and simplify our tax code, making sure everyone in our country, including illegal immigrants, pays their fair share. This Congress we have an incredible opportunity to advance a pro-growth tax agenda that allows Americans to keep more of their hard-earned dollars,” said Strong.
“The Fair Tax simplifies the system while also broadening the revenue base, ensuring everyone contributes fairly while reducing tax loopholes and unnecessary complexity. By encouraging savings and generating stable, predictable income, it provides a sustainable path to reducing our national debt and setting the course for our country to get back on the right fiscal path,” said McCormick.
“The Fair Tax requires immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally to pay taxes, denies them the consumption allowance provided to all legal U. S. residents, and eliminates instances of people using taxpayer-funded resources without paying into the system. President-elect Trump has called for a secure border, the elimination of the income tax, and an overhaul of government efficiency. The Fair Tax advances all three of these goals and is must-pass legislation for 2025,” said Americans for Fair Taxation President Steve Hayes.
