Smooth Out Tax Plan Aims To Cut Capital Gains Rates
Washington changes would let taxpayers choose fixed top rates on gains or include gains in ordinary income for tax purposes. Under the plan capital assets held up to a year remain 100 percent taxed, while longer holdings face lower rates 16 to 30 percent, with phased reductions over five years and no expected revenue loss. Vinson backs the proposal as business friendly and revenue neutral.
