About HB-29

Tax Code Termination Act This bill terminates the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 after December 31, 2021, except for self-employment taxes, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes, and railroad retirement taxes. A two-thirds majority vote in Congress is required to change such termination date. The bill declares that any new federal tax system should be a simple and fair system that:

  • (1) applies a low rate to all Americans,
  • (2) provides tax relief for working Americans,
  • (3) protects the rights of taxpayers and reduces tax collection abuses,
  • (4) eliminates the bias against savings and investment,
  • (5) promotes economic growth and job creation, and
  • (6) does not penalize marriage or families

The new federal tax system must be approved by Congress in its final form by July 4, 2021.
