President's Advisory Panel for Federal Tax Reform

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On January 7, 2005, President George W. Bush announced the establishment of the President's Advisory Panel for Tax Reform, a bipartisan panel to advise on options to reform the United States income tax code to make it simpler, fairer, and more pro-growth to benefit all Americans.

By November 1, 2005, the Advisory Panel is to submit to the Secretary of the Treasury a report containing revenue-neutral policy options for reforming the Federal Internal Revenue Code. These options should:

simplify Federal tax laws to reduce the costs and administrative burdens of compliance with such laws;
share the burdens and benefits of the Federal tax structure in an appropriately progressive manner while recognizing the importance of homeownership and charity in American society; and
promote long-run economic growth and job creation, and better encourage work effort, saving, and investment, so as to strengthen the competitiveness of the United States in the global marketplace.

The Panel has released its final report, see Link below.
