Tax changes cut capital gains but raise some limits
A bill proposes removing the 4 percent tax credit and limits on capital gains. Individuals with long held assets would pay tax on 40 percent of gains instead of 50, and top capital gains tax could drop to 21 percent from 25. Still, real estate dealers face depreciation and gains rules, while inherited property loses a special deduction. The plan also alters sick pay deductions, extending a monthly cut rather than a week.
