Under the NRST, accountants and bookkeepers will still do everything they do now. They will still track all costs, accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, overhead, net profits, and fill out a few tax forms here and there.
In particular, they will still track and report wages to the SSA. They will not fill out federal (wage) tax forms once per month (or quarter) but instead they will fill out sales tax forms once (or more) per month.
You tell me, where are the compliance savings here?
With the fair tax the SS and medicare/medicaid taxes are eliminated.
Actually wages must still be reported so that SS benefits can be figured.
