 FairTax proponents argue that the proposal would provide tax burden visibility and reduce compliance and efficiency costs by 90 % , returning a large share of money to the productive economy . The Beacon Hill Institute concluded that the FairTax would save $ 346 @.@ 51 billion in administrative costs and would be a much more efficient taxation system . Bill Archer , former head of the House Ways and Means Committee , asked Princeton University Econometrics to survey 500 European and Asian companies regarding the effect on their business decisions if the United States enacted the FairTax . 400 of those companies stated they would build their next plant in the United States , and 100 companies said they would move their corporate headquarters to the United States . Supporters argue that the U.S. has the highest combined statutory corporate income tax rate among OECD countries along with being the only country with no border adjustment element in its tax system . Proponents state that because the FairTax eliminates corporate income taxes and is automatically border adjustable , the competitive tax advantage of foreign producers would be eliminated , immediately boosting U.S. competitiveness overseas and at home .
