In the US, the top income tax bracket is set to be raised to 37 percent, with Donald Trump’s tax reform to 39.6 percent.
And for those who earn more than $ 1 million, doubling the capital gains taxes is also on the agenda.
Accordingly, the percentage will increase from 20% to 39.6%.
It is mentioned that this figure could rise to 44% when combined with an existing additional tax on investment income.
A sharp drop in the markets
After the news, there was a sharp drop in both stock indices and cryptocurrency markets.
Biden said on the campaign trail that it was unfair for the wealthy to pay less than middle-class workers.
He promised to equalize capital gains and income tax rates for wealthy individuals.
