Equal Tax Act: Changes to Capital Gains and Inheritance Taxation

Q: What are the main provisions?

Key points include: Capital gains and dividends for taxpayers with incomes over $1 million will be taxed at standard income rates. Gifts and inheritances will be treated as sales, triggering taxes on the increase in asset value at the time of transfer. The first $1 million of gain on assets transferred at death is exempt from this new tax requirement. Family farms and businesses receive a 50% tax exclusion on gains above the limit if they remain operational for 10 years. Taxpayers can elect to pay taxes on inherited assets in five annual installments with a reduced interest rate. New annual and aggregate limits are placed on tax-deferred real estate exchanges.

This bill aligns tax rates for capital gains with ordinary income for high earners and introduces taxes on the appreciation of assets given as gifts or inherited. It includes specific exemptions for family farms and businesses, along with the option to pay resulting taxes in installments.
