This bill, known as the "UNtaxed Act," establishes significant limitations on the ability of the United Nations or its affiliated bodies to levy taxes, tariffs, fees, or other penalties on United States citizens or United States entities . Such impositions would only be permissible if they are part of a treaty that has received the explicit advice and consent of the Senate, as stipulated by the U.S. Constitution. This provision aims to safeguard national sovereignty regarding international financial obligations. Furthermore, the legislation strictly prohibits the appropriation or availability of any United States funds for contributions to the United Nations or any UN-affiliated body that would be used to impose a global carbon tax . It also forbids the use of funds for the implementation or enforcement of such a tax. A global carbon tax is specifically defined as a tax under a global fuel regime that mandates vessel owners to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and imposes set costs based on those emission levels.
