What’s Joe Biden’s plan1. He wants to make the Corporate Tax higher.
Under his tax plan, the corporate tax rate would be increased to 28%- almost a 30% increase to where it is now.
Increasing the corporate tax rate to 28%, Biden believes, should be responsible for raising roughly, $3.3 trillion to $3.7 trillion in estimated extra revenue over the next decade.
Joe is also insisting a minimum absolute business tax to 15%. According to Joe, there will be no more write-offs to 0%, like Amazon , for example , he says, does.
2- A 50% increase in Corporate International tax
Biden’s tax plan would also double the tax rate on Global Intangible Low-Tax Income (GILTI) earned by foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies. Currently set at 10.5% ,the GILTI tax rate would increase to 21%
3- A new ” financial risk” fee on Banks
Joe believes that big banks should maintain Federal Deposit Insurance ( FDIC) but that it should be paid & covered by banks, not government
4- A 10% Wealthy tax
If you make over $500,000 a year, get ready to pay more in taxes. Biden would like to see America’s richest workers open up their wallets. He’ll do this by reraising the top marginal income-tax bracket from 37% to 39.6%.
5- A payroll tax for people making over $400,000.
Currently exempted from paying 12.4% Social Security tax, under Bidens proposal, the tax would be reinstituted.
6- Higher Captain Gains taxes
If you make $1 million , currently your Capital Gains rate is close to 40%.Under Bidens plan, that could go as high as 43%, or an 8% increase.
7- Limit itemized deductions
Itemized deductions, from medicial expenses to charity , would be capped at 28%. So if you are someone who normally falls into a tax bracket over 28%- youll actually lose more deductability.
8- Lower small business deductions
If you make more than $400,000 in business earnings, you can expect your small business deductions to be phased out. This could be a loss( or a tax) of over 40%
9- Institute first-time homebuyers’ and renters’ tax credits
Biden talked up the idea of providing new homebuyers with a tax credit worth up to $15,000. Known as the First Down Payment Tax Credit, it would aid first-time homebuyers in covering the initial costs and fees associated with purchasing a home.
Additionally, Biden wants to provide Section 8 housing vouchers to eligible families so they won’t have to spend more than 30% of their income on rent.
10- More money for Child & Dependant care
Joe wants to increase , the allowability of extra monies for Child & Dependent care credits, from currently $2,100 to $8,000- a 74% increase .
So if you make under $100,000, have children or buying a home, you can get lower taxes , about 20%, down the Biden Plan road.If you make over $400,000 in income, own a business and handle foreign exchange, get ready to cough up an extra 80%.In between, what many would call the middle class, the change would be minicule.
