## Summary

**A new 100% tax on civil damages paid to Presidents and their close associates.** This bill would create a dedicated tax rule that targets damages those covered people receive from civil suits they bring against the United States. - Covered people: Individuals who have served as President, their spouses and family under section 152(d)(2), and persons they control would be subject to the tax equal to 100% of damages they receive from civil actions filed against the United States. - Tax mechanics: The bill would add Chapter 50B to Subtitle D to impose the tax on the "qualified civil action amount." It also states those amounts would not be included in gross income under chapter 1 and it amends section 275(a)(6) to disallow related deductions. - Timing: The changes would apply to amounts received after the date of enactment.
