The “Silicon Six” — Amazon, Apple, Meta, Netflix, Alphabet, and Microsoft — reportedly avoided paying $278 billion in U.S. taxes. Learn how they did it, why it matters, and what it means for everyday Americans, explained in simple terms.

Large partnerships have used complex strategies to reduce their tax bills for years. But now, the government is taking action to make sure they pay their fair share. By increasing audits, closing loopholes, and requiring more transparency, officials hope to create a fairer tax system for everyone.

Taxes are an important part of keeping our country running. When everyone pays their fair share, it helps create a stronger and fairer economy for all.
