HOUSE of Representatives Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp and Senate Finance
Committee Chairman Max Baucus have joined hands to launch TaxReform.gov, a new
website, dedicated to obtaining input from the American public on United States
tax reform. The tax code in the US has created confusions with special interest
provisions that the US has placed in last 27 years. It is high time to go
thoroughly through the tax code to make it more effective and efficient that in
turn will prevent Americans to spend over 6bn hours and over USD 160bn every
year just trying to comply with the tax code, they reportedly said.
Developed in partnership with the Joint Committee on Taxation,
TaxReform.gov will serve as a platform for the American public to weigh in on
tax reform. Visitors to the website can learn about tax reform and submit ideas
on how to improve the tax code. The site has been built around three sections:
Why reform the Tax Code? What's already underway? Share your story and ideas.
The site also provides a library of material detailing the efforts by Baucus and
Camp over the past two years as they have developed comprehensive tax reform
proposals.
