The president’s decision threatens to complicate congressional negotiations over his sweeping new social-spending program.

President Joe Biden’s coming proposal to ramp up the capital gains tax would hit both individuals earning $1 million and married couples filing jointly earning the same amount, according to a White House official.

President Joe Biden’s coming tax package will feature an end to a major benefit for wealthy estates that drastically minimizes the levy for inheritors, along with a bump up in the top income tax rate and funding for strengthened IRS auditing, according to a person familiar with his proposal.

Biden’s proposal to raise capital gains taxes on investments profits would hit many business owners, not just ultra-wealthy investors.

It’s all but inevitable that the Biden administration, as well as lawmakers at the state level, will target millionaires and billionaires for more levies.

The tax would discourage companies from shifting operations to nations with less-stringent rules.

The president is poised to unveil a plan that would raise taxes on the income, investments and estates of the wealthiest Americans to levels not seen in more than four decades.

The White House plans to propose almost doubling the capital gains tax rate for those earning $1 million or more, to 39.6 percent.

His plan includes a proposal to almost double the capital gains tax rate for wealthy individuals to help pay for a raft of social spending, according to people familiar with it.

Sen. Ron Wyden proposes ending existing tax breaks for fossil fuels and creating new incentives for low-and-no carbon energy sources.

President Joe Biden called on employers to use a tax credit to provide paid time off to workers to get vaccinated and for businesses to do more to boost the inoculation effort as the U.S. seeks to get shots in more arms.

President Joe Biden told a group of lawmakers that a permanent expansion could be difficult to pass the Senate.

The group’s advertisements will contend that the Biden administration shouldn’t attempt to raise corporate tax rates during a downturn.

The administration views GOP attacks on its proposal to use corporate tax hikes to pay for a vast infrastructure program as a losing argument in the battle for public opinion.

The plan would eliminate subsidies claimed by oil and gas companies and raise levies on corporate polluters.

The challenge for legislators will be to minimize loopholes that could diminish the impact.

Democratic governors from seven states, including New York, New Jersey and California, wrote to President Joe Biden urging him to remove the cap on state and local tax deductions enacted by Donald Trump.

The corporate tax-cut party President Donald Trump kicked off will soon be over if his successor proves able to enact proposals to roll back half of the 2017 domestic income-tax reduction and to radically revamp levies on profits earned abroad.

President Joe Biden laid out what he called a “bold” plan to rebuild U.S. infrastructure, but now needs an equally ambitious effort to wrangle it through Congress in the face of Republican opposition and criticism from within his Democratic Party.

The infrastructure plan sets the stage for a drawn-out battle over his second big economic program.
