Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The UNtaxed Act restricts the ability of the United Nations to impose taxes, tariffs, fees, or penalties on U.S. citizens and companies without a formal agreement approved by the Senate. The bill specifically targets "global carbon taxes"—taxes on vessel operators that require reductions in greenhouse gas emissions—and prohibits any such UN-imposed tax from being collected unless the Senate has ratified an underlying agreement authorizing it. The legislation also blocks federal funding for U.S. contributions to the UN or affiliated organizations if those funds would support the implementation or enforcement of a global carbon tax. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is included in the bill. This measure essentially prevents the U.S. from participating in international carbon tax schemes without explicit congressional approval through the Senate ratification process.
