Bill > HR1295

This bill, the "No Taxation Without Representation Act," proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt bona fide residents of the District of Columbia (D.C.) from federal income tax on income derived from sources within D.C. This aims to address the historical grievance of D.C. residents being taxed without having voting representation in Congress, similar to the treatment of other U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where residents are exempt from federal income tax on locally-sourced income. The bill cites the principle of "no taxation without representation" as a key motivation and provides relevant historical context around the American colonies' opposition to British taxation without representation in Parliament.
