Payer State Transparency Act of 2025
This bill requires the federal government to annually calculate each state's net federal tax contribution (what states pay in federal taxes versus what they receive in federal spending). It mandates that the Commerce Secretary calculate states' tax burdens based on where individuals reside and business activity occurs, while the OMB calculates federal spending per state based on where federal contracts are performed. The results must be reported to Congress and published online within 180 days each year. This creates a transparent, annual accounting of federal fiscal flows between states, affecting all 50 states directly through standardized reporting.
