Biden mulls doubling capital gains tax
RICH TARGET: Raising the capital gains tax to 39.6% could reverse a long-standing provision in the tax code that tax returns on investment are lower than on labor
Bloomberg
US President Joe Biden is to propose almost doubling the capital gains tax rate for wealthy individuals to 39.6 percent to help pay for a raft of social spending that addresses long-standing inequality, people familiar with the matter said.
For those earning US$1 million or more, the new top rate, coupled with an existing surtax on investment income, means that federal tax rates for wealthy investors could be as high as 43.4 percent.
