I’d like to know how, if any, the fair tax is different than the flat tax?

Personally I cannot support a “Fair Tax” but I could support a “Flat Tax”. Fair Tax is like a consumption tax; Fair Tax is everyone paying the same rate.

There are several differences but the most profound difference is anyone of the flat tax bills before Congress maintain the income tax code and the IRS. The Fair Tax will repeal all federal income taxes and abolish the IRS. No longer will you have to fill out any tax forms since you will be paying the tax every time you make a purchase.
