Massachusetts Would Suffer Under Joe Biden Capital Gains Tax Hikes, Tax Foundation Says

President Joe Biden wants to raise the capital gains tax — and opponents say it will not only cost the country jobs but revenue as well.

Biden wants to raise the top federal tax rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends from 23.8 percent to 39.6 percent for those earning $1 million or more. With the net investment income tax, that's an effective top rate of 43.3 percent at the federal level.
