TN HJR0017

Tennessee General Assembly urges U.S. Congress to enact H.R. 25, the Fair Tax Act of 2023, replacing all federal income taxes with a national retail sales tax

Taxes to be eliminated include: personal income tax, alternative minimum tax, inheritance tax, gift tax, capital gains tax, corporate income tax, self-employment tax, and employee/employer payroll taxes

Resolution calls for repeal of the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which authorizes federal income taxation

Cites Tennessee's experience since 1947 operating without a state personal income tax as a successful model, including the 2014 constitutional amendment prohibiting state income taxes

Copies of the resolution to be transmitted to the President and all members of the Tennessee Congressional Delegation
