I don't make a product I sell a product that others make and get a commission when I sell something. So I have no real cost of goods sold.

Unless you are losing money on your business now, I'd say the Fair Tax would be absolutly GREAT for you. Think of it. You will pay 23% on your expenses, but avoid the 15%+ in self-employment taxes (SS & Medicare) while also ending income taxes that are taking about 30% of your net revenue. I'd guess you would come out 25-30% ahead of where you are now. You would also likely be collecting a fee (1/2% ???) on the taxable sales you make. Pigdog probably could give you more information.

Not according to HR25, I won't. I'd say the Fair Tax would be absolutly GREAT for you

From what I've seen, it would be absolutely GREAT for everyone, that's what scares me.

Which expenses are you referring to? If you meant business expenses, then that is wrong. If you meant personal consumption, then you are right.
