UNtaxed Act
HR 5888, the UNtaxed Act, prohibits the United Nations or its affiliated bodies from imposing taxes, tariffs, or fees on U.S. citizens or companies without a Senate-approved agreement. It also blocks U.S. funding for any United Nations activities related to implementing or enforcing a global carbon tax, which is defined as a tax on vessel emissions under a worldwide fuel system. The bill directly affects U.S. businesses and citizens who might face UN levies, and it restricts federal resources from supporting international carbon tax initiatives. This legislation aims to prevent unilateral UN taxation and funding of carbon-related policies without congressional oversight.
