Small Business Tax Relief and Carried Interest Reform
This Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to lower the corporate tax rate for small businesses with taxable income not exceeding $5,000,000. It reclassifies net capital gain from investment services partnership interests (carried interest) as ordinary income. Additionally, it increases the deduction for self-employment taxes for individuals with adjusted gross income under $400,000 and raises the excise tax on corporate stock repurchases.
Key points
Corporate Tax Cut: Corporations with taxable income up to $5 million will pay 18% on the first $400,000 of income (down from 21%).
Carried Interest Reform: Net capital gains from investment management services will be treated as ordinary income.
Enhanced Deduction for Self-Employed: Individuals with income below $400,000 can deduct 75% (up from 50%) of their self-employment taxes.
Increased Stock Buyback Tax: The excise tax on corporate stock repurchases increases from 1% to 1.5%.
Self-Employment Earnings: Income from investment services partnership interests will be included in net earnings from self-employment.
