President Biden’s #AmericanFamilyPlan will likely include a large increase in the top federal tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends, from 23.8% today to 39.6% for higher earners.
When including the net investment income tax, the top federal rate on capital gains would be 43.4%.
Rates would be even higher in many U.S. states due to state and local capital gains taxes, leading to a combined average rate of 48% compared to about 29% under current law.
Rates would be even higher in many U.S. states due to state and local capital gains taxes, leading to a combined average rate of 48% compared to about 29% under current law.
Raising the top capital gains tax rate to 39.6 percent for those earning over $1 million would reduce federal revenue by about $124 billion over 10 years, according to our General Equilibrium Model.
