National Sustainable Consumption Tax Policy (NSCT)
Purpose:
Replace federal income taxes and abolish the IRS by implementing a transparent, consumption-based tax system that promotes sustainability, fairness, and simplicity.
Key Features:
- Abolition of Income Taxes & IRS:
All federal income and capital gains taxes will be eliminated, and the IRS dissolved.
- National Consumption Tax:
A uniform consumption tax will apply to new products and services, collected at point-of-sale. Exemptions include essential goods (e.g., food, healthcare) and used, refurbished, or renewable products, promoting sustainability.
- Progressive Tax Structure:
Higher-income earners, who purchase more new luxury items, will contribute more tax, creating a progressive system that ensures fairness.
- Link to Government Spending:
Tax revenue will be tied directly to a fixed percentage of government spending, ensuring transparency. Tax rates will be adjusted based on economic conditions, within a capped range.
- Simplicity & Transparency:
No tax returns or complicated filings. The consumption tax will be automatically collected and visible to consumers, making the system straightforward for both businesses and individuals.
- Environmental & Economic Benefits:
Encourages the use of sustainable products and long-lasting goods. Manufacturers will innovate to avoid heavy taxes on disposable items, promoting eco-friendly practices. Savings and investment will increase due to the absence of income tax.
Conclusion:
The NSCT policy simplifies tax collection, promotes fairness, and encourages sustainability, while protecting lower-income households through exemptions on necessities and fostering a more eco-conscious economy.
