The UNtaxed Act would prohibit the United Nations from levying taxes, tariffs, fees, or penalties on U.S. citizens and American businesses unless approved through a formal treaty ratified by the Senate. The bill specifically targets global carbon taxes—which would require ship operators to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and pay set costs based on those emissions—by blocking any U.S. government funding for implementing or enforcing such a tax system. The legislation prevents the federal government from contributing money to the UN or UN-affiliated organizations if those funds would support a global carbon tax. Essentially, the bill aims to block American participation in or funding of any UN-directed climate-related taxation scheme without explicit congressional approval through the treaty process.
