national flat sales tax need to be  Reply with quote  

How high would a national flat sales tax have to be to cover the revenue loss if we were to eliminate the IRS and income taxes in general?

IE- In callifornia right now sales tax is 8.25%...would it have to go to 25%? Higher?

Good luck coming up with a number. Rolling Eyes

You might check the Heritage Foundation's website. They've done quite a bit of study on taxes.

Though I suggest you get your terminology straight, because you use the words "flat sales tax" and when "flat tax" is mentioned, it's usually in reference to an income tax.

We already have a flat sales tax in Oregon where I live, it's ZERO and I like that.
