Americans For Fair Taxation (AFFT), also known as FairTax.org, is a U.S. political advocacy group based in Clearwater, Florida that is dedicated to fundamental tax code replacement.[1] It is made up of volunteers who are working to get the Fair Tax Act (H.R. 25/S. 122) enacted in the United States – a plan to replace all federal payroll and income taxes (both corporate and personal) with a national retail sales tax and monthly tax "prebate" to households of citizens and legal resident aliens.
The organization claims it is the largest, single-issue grassroots taxpayers union in the United States,[2] with over 800,000 supporters.[3] The organization states that it subscribes to the ideals of simplicity, fairness, and freedom which they believe are embodied in the FairTax.[4][5]
