Five types: Income, Employement, Self Employement, Excise, Hidden or Embedded.

Income- discussed, returned to wage earner, 0% saved by business

Employment- discussed, 7.65% returned to wage earner, 7.65% retained as cost savings

Self-Employment- discussed, 7.65% returned to wage earner, 7.65% retained as cost savings

Excise- not part of FairTax replacement, 0% saved by business

Hidden or Embedded- these are a fantasy of the FairTax movement, they were originally defined as the sum of all the income and payroll and corporate taxes above, but since these have been removed from the deinition no one knows what these "Hidden" taxes are any more. No businessman has a clue where these are, or how they are going to be eliminated. They are a figment of the FairTax imagination.

From FairTax.org

Exactly what taxes are abolished?

The FairTax is replacement, not reform. It replaces federal income taxes including, personal, estate, gift, capital gains, alternative minimum, Social Security, Medicare, self-employment, and corporate taxes.
