FIRST ON FOX: The Trump campaign on Tuesday unveiled a website that tabulates how much voters in each state can expect to pay in taxes if Trump's tax cuts expire next year.
“Kamala Harris voted against the Trump tax cuts and will let them expire if elected,” the website, called KamalaTaxIncrease.com, says.
“Washington Democrats don't care about you – they will work with Kamala Harris to make sure you pay more taxes and have less money in your pocket. According to the Tax Foundation, if the Trump tax cuts expire, most taxpayers will see a significant tax increase,” he adds.
Using data from the Washington, D.C.-based think tank the Tax Foundation, Trump's new campaign website shows a map of the United States with a breakdown of what residents of each state could expect to spend in additional taxes.

“When Kamala is in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin this week, will she tell voters that, on average, they will pay more than $2,000 in additional taxes each year if she is elected and lets the Trump tax cuts expire? The choice is simple: more money in your pockets with President Trump or higher taxes with Kamala Harris,” Karoline Leavitt, national press secretary for the Trump campaign, told Fox News Digital.
The national average tax increase drops to $2,580.57, while residents in blue states like California and Washington can expect an average increase of $3,360 and $4,375, according to the website.

The Tax Foundation also has a calculator on its website that can tabulate expected increases based on a person's personal background, such as income and filing status, for more detailed data.
Trump and Republican lawmakers passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in 2017, which dramatically overhauled the nation’s tax code, including cutting the top individual income tax bracket from 39.6% to 37% and nearly doubling the size of the standard deduction.
But the law is set to expire in 2025, and Vice President Harris has promised to reverse the Trump-era cuts. She proposes raising the rate on large corporations from 21% to 28%, and also seeks to increase the federal government's tax credit for small businesses tenfold, from $5,000 to $50,000.

Trump has pledged to make his entire 2017 tax law permanent if he is re-elected in November.
“He wants to let our tax cuts expire,” Trump said in May at a rally in New Jersey. “Instead of a Biden tax increase, I'm going to give you a big tax cut to the middle class, the upper class, the lower class and the business class. They're going to get the biggest tax cut.”

Last week, the Chamber of Commerce and 500 businesses across the country published an open letter to Washington lawmakers and the incoming presidential administration, asking them to maintain Trump's tax cuts or risk the United States facing “the largest tax increase in American history.”

“While the impact of a massive tax increase on individual Americans is clear, it is critical for policymakers to understand that the expiration of many pro-growth business tax reforms in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) will also dramatically increase costs for families and customers, harm traditional businesses, reduce workers' take-home pay, and result in the loss of American jobs and innovation,” Neil Bradley, executive vice president and chief policy officer at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said in a statement accompanying the letter.
“Pro-growth tax policy not only grows the overall U.S. economy, but also increases wages for American workers and improves living standards,” the statement continued. “Maintaining and improving pro-growth tax policy ensures that the United States remains globally competitive, retaining and attracting businesses, jobs, investment, and innovation here at home.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment on the new website but did not immediately receive a response.
