Bill overview
This bill, titled the No Taxation Without Representation Act, aims to align the tax treatment of residents of the District of Columbia with that of residents of other U.S. territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. It proposes to exempt income derived from within the District and income connected with a trade or business conducted there from federal gross income tax. The bill draws parallels to existing tax exemptions for territories, referencing historical arguments about representation and taxation.
