Biden capital gains tax increase The capital gains tax rate for long-term capital gains, assets held for more than one year, is at most 20%. Capital gains are the profits you make from selling or trading an asset. The tax rates that apply to a particular capital gain (i.e., capital gains tax rates) depend on the type of asset involved, your taxable income, and how long you held the property before it was sold Biden’s FY25 budget proposal would nearly double that capital gains tax rate to 39.6%. That proposed capital gains rate increase would apply to investors who make at least one million dollars a year. 'Carried interest loophole' The Biden budget proposal also revives the debate over the so-called carried interest loophole. Currently, asset managers can treat certain compensation they receive as capital gains, which means that a significant portion of their income is taxed at a much lower rate than if it were treated as wages. Under Biden’s budget proposal, that compensation would be treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes to end the carried interest loophole.

ActionfigureJoe Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 When people see their savings and jobs shrink, their standard of living dribble away, they’re going to turn to what they see as the wealthy for blood. Pitchforks. This is the hedonistic phase of a declining empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what? Won’t see that in my lifetime. This is all just smoke and mirrors. The ultra wealthy have a number of ways to avoid capital gains. Whether it’s buying into a hobby, a sports team, or simply borrowing against it. This will hurt the upper middle more than anyone. This is where you find the business owners.
