Bidens 2025 budget proposal raises the top marginal rate on long term capital gains and qualified dividends to 44.6 percent.
The Biden administration has proposed the highest top capital gains tax in over a century.
According to Biden’s 2025 budget proposal the top marginal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends would rise to 44.6%.
The proposal, which marks the highest tax increase since the creation of the capital gains tax in 1922, could significantly curtail the financial returns of investors in stocks and crypto.
“For example, a taxpayer with $1,100,000 in taxable income of which $200,000 is preferential capital income would have $100,000 of capital income taxed at the preferential rate and $100,000 taxed at ordinary rates,” the proposal states.
Additionally, the proposal when combined with state capital gains tax would exceed 50% in many (mostly blue) states and would not account for inflation’s erosion of purchasing power.
