We simulated the effect of replacing the current federal income tax code and employee side payroll tax with a flat tax over a range of rates. In this paper, we examine the impact of replacing today’s system with a budget-neutral combination of flat income taxes and universal basic incomes (UBIs). While there are many ways to reform the tax code, a simple way is taxing every dollar at the same rate this is often called a “flat tax.”
The current US income tax code taxes different types of incomes at different rates, includes an array of credits and deductions that primarily benefit the upper and middle class, and requires Americans to spend billions of hours and dollars filing taxes each year.Ī 2015 Pew survey found that 66 percent of Republicans and 48 percent of Democrats support completely changing the tax system.
