> by this tax This isn't actually a (new) tax, it's a surveillance framework intended to support stricter enforcement of existing taxes. So far as that goes it's an added expense (mostly externalized) and not likely to pay for anything. The claim is that there is $28 billion of tax evasion going on which all this extra reporting would supposedly curtail–assuming all else remained equal—which is pure conjecture and not something that should be relied upon as a funding source.
