The CEO's first major talking point in Facebook's latest earnings report was VR and AR, predicting \"augmented and virtual reality to unlock a massive amount of value, both in people's lives and the economy overall.\"</p>\n<p>His excitement about the technology is not unwarranted -- Fortune Business Insights forecasts that the global market for VR gaming will reach $45.2 billion by 2027 (from $5.1 billion in 2019). This translates to a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 31.8%, compared to a CAGR of only 5.3% for the overall gaming console market over the same forecast period.</p>\n<h2>How Facebook got ahead</h2>\n<p>Facebook's strategy for VR gaming domination starts with laying a solid foundation of technology and developer talent. In classic Facebook fashion, its primary tactic has been acquiring existing VR hardware and software companies.</p>\n<p>Since acquiring Oculus VR for $2 billion in 2014, the company has made significant progress in improving its VR hardware to better suit customers' needs. The current Oculus Quest 2 is a stand-alone headset (i.e., no wires to trip on or tangle up while playing) and requires no external device (such as a console or PC). Conversely, <b>Sony</b>'s (NYSE:SONY) wired PlayStation VR headset requires a PlayStation console. The Quest 2's wireless, low-hardware conveniences combined with its lower price point relative to any other major headset on the market give Facebook a competitive edge when it comes to hardware.</p>\n<p>But even the best VR headset is useless without great games, making Facebook's VR studio acquisitions crucial to building up its VR ecosystem. By acquiring small yet high-performing studios, Facebook is securing revenue from already-popular VR games on Oculus and retaining top software developers to create exclusive content within the Oculus platform. Considering the company's standard four-year stock option vesting schedule, it's unlikely that developers from studios like BigBox or Unit 2 will jump ship to work for a competitor anytime soon.</p>\n<h2>Why it'll stay ahead</h2>\n<p>If you know Facebook's business model, you're probably wondering when ads come into play. The company has announced that it will begin testing ads in select games on the Oculus platform, but it's still up in the air what exactly the ad experience will look like once testing begins -- and how VR gamers will react.</p>\n<p>If the company can manage to integrate ads without breaking the immersive gaming experience, it will help developers earn more revenue (thus, attracting more developers to the Oculus platform) and could even make games more realistic. For example, real ads appearing on in-game TV screens and billboards would not break players' immersion in their gaming world, while still driving revenue for developers and Facebook.</p>\n<p>Beyond attracting developers for top-tier content, Facebook has a unique edge in attracting consumers as well -- its massive social networking user base. No other VR headset can offer such easy accessibility (low price point with no required console purchase) and such a high potential for network effects.</p>\n<p>For example, it would be much easier for a friend to influence you to purchase a $300 all-in-<a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> VR headset than a PlayStation console <i>and</i> headset, which would total more than twice the cost of the Quest 2. Don't get me wrong -- Sony is a leading competitor in the VR gaming space and has shipped the most VR hardware units to date, but the company's network effects are arguably limited to existing PlayStation owners (about 15.7 million monthly active users, between the PS4 and the PS5).</p>\n<p>Facebook's 2.8 billion monthly active users have much more potential to add value to the Oculus platform by sheer volume of players, especially when it comes to popular social VR games like <i>Population: One</i>, <i>Craya</i>, and <i>Beat Saber Multiplayer</i> (developed by yet another Facebook-acquired studio, Beat Games). Social gaming experiences are inherently more valuable with more players.</p>\n<p>While some VR multiplayer games are cross-platform (i.e., an Oculus player can game with a PS VR player), Facebook will likely tighten up its exclusive content offerings to attract and retain players. As long as the company rolls out ad content in a way that feels relatively organic to Oculus players, Facebook is set up for success in rapidly gaining market share in VR gaming.</p>\n<h2>What to watch for</h2>\n<p>While Facebook's VR gaming revenue isn't reported explicitly (yet), the company's \"other revenue\" business segment is primarily Oculus. In Facebook's first-quarter 2021 earnings report, this segment grew 146% year over year to $732 million, implying an impressive growth rate for the company's VR business. Further, the Quest 2 has become the most used VR headset on popular gaming platform Steam, and by many estimates the Quest 2 is selling at least twice as fast as PlayStation VR, despite lagging behind in current overall market share.</p>\n<p>Keep an eye on this \"other revenue\" segment in future earnings reports, as well as any hard figures reported by the company on VR gaming revenue. More cautious investors may also want to wait for Facebook to complete its in-game ad testing process before investing based on the company's growth potential in VR. It is undoubtedly a risk to user growth if ad content is not executed smoothly.</p>\n<p>It's impossible to dive into every point in Facebook's value and growth story in <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE.U\">one</a> sitting, but the stock seems fairly valued given its growth potential -- FB is even rated \"undervalued\" by Morningstar. The company's wide economic moat in social gaming is unmatched thanks to a massive user base and vast user data, and these competitive advantages can easily translate to driving profits and market share for its VR gaming business.</p>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>How Facebook Is Quietly Preparing to Dominate Virtual Reality</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nHow Facebook Is Quietly Preparing to Dominate Virtual Reality\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2021-06-28 19:45 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2021/06/27/how-facebook-is-quietly-preparing-to-dominate-virt/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>According to The Verge, nearly 20% of Facebook's (NASDAQ:FB) employees are working exclusively on virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

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.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":120037055,"gmtCreate":1624287702577,"gmtModify":1703832603515,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580457839820972","authorIdStr":"3580457839820972"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/120037055","repostId":"2144779308","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2144779308","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"The leading daily newsletter for the latest financial and business news. 33Yrs Helping Stock Investors with Investing Insights, Tools, News & More.","home_visible":0,"media_name":"Investors","id":"1085713068","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/608dd68a89ed486e18f64efe3136266c"},"pubTimestamp":1624022423,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2144779308?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-18 21:20","market":"us","language":"en","title":"New Psychedelic Drug Stock To Debut After Upsized IPO Prices At High End","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2144779308","media":"Investors","summary":"Atai Life Sciences, a backer of psychedelic-drug developers, will start trading Friday, making it the latest such company to hit a major exchange.","content":"<p><b>Atai Life Sciences</b>, a backer of psychedelic-drug developers, will start trading Friday, making it the latest such company to hit a major exchange as it tries to bring hallucinogens to the world of therapeutics.</p>\n<p>The Germany-based company, backed by billionaire investor and <b><a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/PYPL\">PayPal</a></b> co-founder Peter Thiel, priced its IPO at $15, compared compared to an expected range of $13 and $15.</p>\n<p>The Atai IPO will generate gross proceeds of $225 million from the sale of 15 million shares.

Underwriters also have an option to buy another 2.25 million shares.\nLast week, Atai said it planned to offer 14,286,000 shares in its IPO. The offering also included a 30-day option for the underwriters to buy up to 2,142,900 additional shares.\nCredit Suisse, Citigroup, Cowen, and Berenberg were book-running managers for the offering. Other book-running managers included Cantor, RBC Capital Markets and Canaccord Genuity, a big dealmaker in the cannabis industry that has shown up in psychedelics as well.\nPsychedelic Drug Stocks\nThe Atai IPO follows that of Compass Pathways, which is researching a therapy regimen that uses a crystalline form of psilocybin. Atai is also a large shareholder in Compass.\nMindMed, another psychedelics developer, listed on the Nasdaq in April. Others trade in Canada.\nMindMed rose 0.3% in premarket trading on the stock market today. Compass Pathways was quiet.\nMore psychedelic drug companies over the past year have tried to reach investors via U.S. and Canadian exchanges. But investing in the space carries the same challenges as other nascent drug developers, where trials can burn through money and still come up short of approval.\nSales, let alone profits, could be years away. Regulators, such as the FDA and DEA, can approve research on drugs, even though some, like LSD and psilocybin, are considered controlled substances. But executives in the industry have said regulatory approval, rather than state or local legalization, will define growth in the psychedelics industry.\nSpravato, a drug from Johnson & Johnson that uses a derivative of ketamine, was approved in 2019 for treatment-resistant depression.\nAtai IPO Details, Planned Trials\nAtai was founded in 2018 by Christian Angermayer, a biotech investor. Angermayer also founded Apeiron Investment Group, which is Atai's biggest shareholder, according to the Atai IPO prospectus.\nIn that filing, from April, Atai said it had raised $362.3 million as of that time. Atai reported a net loss last year of around $179 million.\nAtai invests in companies developing mental health treatments, often with a majority interest or an option to get one. It oversees 10 therapeutic programs handled by such companies. Five of those involve some form of psychedelic compound, such as MDMA — also known as ecstasy or molly — ibogaine, R-ketamine and DMT, a substance found in ayahuasca.\nOne of those companies, Atai said, Recognify Life Sciences, has initiated a Phase 2a trial in the United States. Atai said it expected to start a Phase 2 trial for another program this year, with three more next year.\nHowever, drug development is expensive and time-consuming. If funding falls through, those efforts could be derailed. Atai said it had cash of $97.2 million as of the end of last year.\nAtai also said that under its agreements with Recognify and DemeRx — another company it has invested in that is researching ibogaine — they could lose their majority interest in both companies if Atai misses certain milestone payments.\nThese Are The 5 Best Stocks To Buy And Watch Now","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":345,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":162424539,"gmtCreate":1624072348321,"gmtModify":1703828228811,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580457839820972","authorIdStr":"3580457839820972"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Shiok","listText":"Shiok","text":"Shiok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":1,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/162424539","repostId":"2144779308","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":323,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":122334934,"gmtCreate":1624596846728,"gmtModify":1703841363133,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580457839820972","authorIdStr":"3580457839820972"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Cool","listText":"Cool","text":"Cool","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/122334934","repostId":"1136202921","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":417,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151194802,"gmtCreate":1625066527106,"gmtModify":1703735400249,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580457839820972","authorIdStr":"3580457839820972"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Nice","listText":"Nice","text":"Nice","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151194802","repostId":"2147169298","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2147169298","pubTimestamp":1625064508,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2147169298?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 22:48","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Better Buy: Virgin Galactic vs. Lockheed Martin","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2147169298","media":"Motley Fool","summary":"These two businesses are in the same industry but couldn't be more different.","content":"<p>The aerospace, rocket launching, and defense industries seem to be on the verge of a huge expansion over the coming decades.

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.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":361,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":151195446,"gmtCreate":1625066508485,"gmtModify":1703735399257,"author":{"id":"3580457839820972","authorId":"3580457839820972","name":"JasSeah","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3580457839820972","authorIdStr":"3580457839820972"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Yumz","listText":"Yumz","text":"Yumz","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/151195446","repostId":"1168354842","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1168354842","pubTimestamp":1625064927,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1168354842?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-06-30 22:55","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Amazon Is Still The Undisputed King Of Cloud","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1168354842","media":"TheStreet","summary":"Accelerated cloud adoption has led to dizzying growth in IaaS revenues in 2020, and Amazon remains t","content":"<p>Accelerated cloud adoption has led to dizzying growth in IaaS revenues in 2020, and Amazon remains the number one player in the space.
