Congressman Poe's Record on Taxes

Legislation Supported by Congressman Poe

H.R.8 - I am a co-sponsor of the Death Tax Repeal Permanency Act of 2005. Americans should not be penalized for saving money or building a successful business, and the Death Tax repeal should be made permanent. Prior to the repeal, many citizens faced a great burden when the time came to plan for their family’s future because of this unfair form of double taxation. A permanent repeal of this tax would boost the American economy by helping businesses thrive and allowing for increased savings. H.R. 8 has been passed by the House of Representatives, and is awaiting action in the Senate.
Status: Passed by House of Representatives

H.R.25 - The Fair Tax Act of 2005, which I have co-sponsored, would repeal the complex income tax structure and institute a national retail sales tax. This would give Americans much greater flexibility to save and invest their earnings. A national sales tax would also ensure that those who make their incomes through illegal and black-market activities would pay their share of taxes when they buy cars, houses, or any other taxable commodity.
Status: Referred to Committee

H.R.4297 - The best thing government can do is get out of the way of the hard working Americans that make this country great. The fewer burdens we place on small business owners and working families the more productive our economy will be. That is why I support the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, which extends alternative minimum tax relief, the increased spending limit on small business expensing, and the low rates on capital gains and dividends.
Status: Signed By President, Public Law No: 109-222

H.R.5638 - The Permanent Estate Tax Relief Act of 2006 permanently eliminates the Death Tax for estates valued less than $5 million.
Status: Passed by House of Representatives
