What Biden proposes:
Increase the corporate tax rate to 28%, up from the 21% imposed by the 2017 tax law. This would raise an estimated $1.3 trillion over 10 years.
Apply the Social Security payroll tax to incomes over $400,000, raising an estimated $962 billion.
Raise the tax rate on capital gains and dividends for households earning more than $1 million per year. Along with a tax on unrealized capital gains of more than $100,000 at death (excluding money bequeathed to surviving spouses and charities), this would raise an estimated $448 billion.
Roll back the 2017 tax cuts for households earning more than $400,000 per year, raising an estimated $432 billion.
Double the minimum tax on overseas profits, from 10.5% to 21%.
