Kamala Harris Unveils Modified Tax Plan with Focus on Capital Gains and Small Business Incentives

Harris seeks to balance progressive tax increases with moderate proposals to attract broad support.

  • Vice President Harris proposes a 28% tax rate on long-term capital gains for Americans earning over $1 million.
  • The proposed rate is significantly lower than President Biden's previously suggested 39.6% rate.
  • Harris also advocates an expanded tax deduction for new small businesses and the elimination of federal income tax on tips.
  • Her tax plan combines progressive elements with moderate adjustments, aiming to appeal to both business leaders and working-class voters.
  • Despite modifications, Harris maintains key elements of Biden's tax agenda, including the Billionaire Minimum Income Tax.
