What missing here is really the amount of loopholes the rich can take advantage of. The effective tax rates will be much lesser What do you think?

With average state taxes and a 3.8% federal surtax, the wealthiest people would pay almost 49% total.\nOnly Ireland has a higher top rate – 51% on dividends.\nThere are many caveats. Perhaps most important, the highest U.S. rate applies to relatively few people, the top 0.3%. In other countries, the top rate applies across a broader pool of taxpayers.\n\nThe U.S. would tax capital gains and dividends for the rich at among the highest rates in the developed world if President Joe Biden's proposal were enacted.\nThe top rate high-earning Americans pay on dividends and the sale of appreciated assets would jump to nearly 49%, when combining all federal and state taxes, according to the Tax Foundation.\nTop tax rates on long-term capital gains for individuals in developed countries\nThe U.S. would have the highest top capital-gains tax rates among OECD countries if President Biden's proposal were enacted. The 48.6% rate includes a 3.8% net investment income tax and states' average top rate. It would apply to those with more than $1 million of income.\nNote: Data as of April 2021. Tax rates represent the top marginal capital-gains rates individuals paid for long-held shares. Include exemptions and surtaxes. Tax base and holding period vary between countries. U.S. rate includes state deductions for federal income taxes. Source: Tax Foundation, Bloomberg Tax, PwC\nIreland is the only other developed nation to levy a higher tax on investment income – 51% on dividends. But when it comes to capital gains, the U.S. would claim the highest top rate, according to Tax Foundationdata.\n(Unlike the U.S., many countries tax capital gains and dividends at different rates.)\n“If the [Biden] proposal went through, we’re right at the top of the world,” according to James Hines Jr., a law and economics professor at the University of Michigan and research director at its Office of Tax Policy Research.\nTop tax rates on dividends for individuals in developed countries\nThe U.S. would have one of the highest top dividend tax rates among OECD countries if President Biden's proposal were enacted. The 48.6% rate includes a 3.8% net investment income tax and states' average top rate. It would apply to those with more than $1 million of income.\nNote: Data as of April 2021. Tax rates represent the top marginal rate individuals paid on dividends. Include credits and surtaxes. U.S. rate includes state deductions for federal income taxes. *Japan rate for 2020. Current-year rate not available in the OECD dataset. Source: Tax Foundation, OECD\nThe U.S. currently taxes qualified dividends and long-term capital gains for the wealthiest citizens at about 29%. (Again, that’s a combined rate that includes state and federal taxes.)\nThat levy is about average among the 37 nations in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, according to tax experts.\nThe top 0.3%\nOf course, there are many caveats to this analysis.\nIt’s difficult to compare tax burdens across countries due to extreme variation in certain details, according to experts.\nFor one, the top U.S. rate would apply to relatively few taxpayers each year. Other developed countries impose their top tax rate on a broader pool of people.\nThe Biden administration policy targets the richest Americans — the top 0.3% — because they are often able to manipulate the tax system in their favor, according to a White House official. It’s therefore unfair to compare the top tax rate more broadly, the official said.\nA recent ProPublicareportfound that some of the world’s wealthiest executives — like Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos, Michael Bloomberg and Elon Musk —pay little to no taxes compared to their wealth.\nThe wealthiest taxpayers often receive income from so-called “capital income” like interest, dividends and capital gains.\nBiden’s proposal would raise the top federal rate on long-term capital gains and qualified dividends to 39.6%, from 20%, for taxpayers with annual income over $1 million.\n(Under current law, a 3.8%net investment income taxalso applies to taxpayers with more than $200,000 of income and married couples with more than $250,000. Most states also impose a separate tax on capital gains and dividends — the average top state rate is 5.2%,accordingto the Tax Foundation.)\nCombined, that yields a top rate of 48.6%.\nDenmark and Chile are the only other developed nations with a capital-gains tax rate of at least 40%. And relative to dividends, that’s true for just three countries: Ireland, Korea and Denmark.\nBiden’s proposal is part of a broader plan toraise taxes for households making more than $400,000 a year, to help fund domestic initiatives that largely benefit the low and middle class. The plan would change capital gains taxes in other ways, too, including taxing appreciated assets upon an owner’s death.\nProgressive tax system\nBut most Americans would pay a much lower federal tax rate than the headline top rate.\nIndeed, the U.S. capital-gains tax regime is progressive relative to other countries, according to Garrett Watson, a senior policy analyst at the Tax Foundation.\nSingle taxpayers with between roughly $40,000 and $446,000 of income pay 15% on their long-term capital gains or dividends in 2021. Those with less income don’t pay any taxes.\n\n The top bracket includes a lot of people in the U.K., whereas that wouldn’t be true in the U.S.James Hines Jr.RESEARCH DIRECTOR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN’S OFFICE OF TAX POLICY RESEARCH\n\nBut France, for example, has a flat 30% tax rate on capital gains and dividends — meaning it applies to everyone regardless of income. (High earners pay an additional 4%.) The Netherlands, Israel, Germany, Japan and Hungary also impose a flat tax.\nEven in nations without a flat tax, their top rate may include a broader swath of the population.\n“The top bracket includes a lot of people in the U.K., whereas that wouldn’t be true in the U.S.,” Hines said.\nAlso, rules across developed countries may bump their tax rates up to levels higher than they might initially appear.\nFor example, nine OECD countries — Belgium, the Czech Republic, Korea, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Slovakia, Slovenia, Switzerland and Turkey — have a 0% tax on capital gains.\nBut they do tax dividends. And some levy a tax if the asset isn’t held for a certain length of time. In Slovenia, for example, the 0% tax only applies to assets held for at least 20 years. Rates could be as high as 27.5% for shorter holding periods.\nU.S. states\nPlus, U.S. states vary greatly in how they tax capital gains and dividends, according to Hines.\nFor example, residents of Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington state and Wyoming wouldn’t owe additional state tax on capital gains,accordingto the Tax Foundation.\nTheir top rate under Biden’s proposal would be 43.4% (which includes the 39.6% federal rate and the 3.8% net investment income tax). By comparison, California, New York, and New Jersey would have combined rates of more than 54% for the wealthiest residents.","kind":null,"is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":null,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":120332951,"gmtCreate":1624297107173,"gmtModify":1703832876105,"author":{"id":"3575607287886909","authorId":"3575607287886909","name":"etjj","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/3d58f4dd5bd18d1fb2d2fcdf93d9c6c9","vip":1,"crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"[What]&nbsp;","listText":"[What]&nbsp;","text":"[What]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/120332951","repostId":1194003246,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":120083660,"gmtCreate":1624288187950,"gmtModify":1703832621820,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Great","listText":"Great","text":"Great","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/120083660","repostId":1194003246,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4937718,"gmtCreate":1624290780831,"gmtModify":1663229630340,"authorId":3575640395742421,"author":{"id":3575640395742421,"authorId":3575640395742421,"name":"ccmk","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a90d67ad1fb38a136eae07512ce11d0f","vip":1,"currentWearingBadge":{"badgeId":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03-1","templateUuid":"44212b71d0be4ec88898348dbe882e03","name":"Boss Tiger","description":"The transaction amount of the securities account reaches $100,000","bigImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c8dfc27c1ee0e25db1c93e9d0b641101","smallImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/f43908c142f8a33c78f5bdf0e2897488","grayImgUrl":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/82165ff19cb8a786e8919f92acee5213","redirectLinkEnabled":0,"hasAllocated":1,"isWearing":1,"stampPosition":0,"hasStamp":0,"allocationCount":1,"allocatedDate":"2022.05.10","exceedPercentage":"60.48%","individualDisplayEnabled":0,"individualDisplaySort":0,"categoryType":1101},"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":120083660,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"[得意]","text":"[得意]","html":"[得意]"}],"langContent":"EN"},{"id":120003610,"gmtCreate":1624286786830,"gmtModify":1703832566243,"author":{"id":"3582536680297698","authorId":"3582536680297698","name":"potatojiejie","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Haha","listText":"Haha","text":"Haha","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/120003610","repostId":1194003246,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":167764388,"gmtCreate":1624285324044,"gmtModify":1703832504656,"author":{"id":"3558070926607143","authorId":"3558070926607143","name":"Kkyy","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a1a78bf0a80c84410b39ce81b2c30a2c","vip":1,"crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"Wow","listText":"Wow","text":"Wow","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/167764388","repostId":1194003246,"repostType":4,"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"langContent":"EN"},{"id":167766769,"gmtCreate":1624285252351,"gmtModify":1703832501697,"author":{"id":"3581331938298103","authorId":"3581331938298103","name":"SandDust","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ea6083d742fc232449a625fb122842c8","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0},"htmlText":"What missing here is really the amount of loopholes the rich can take advantage of.
