Individual taxpayers should be aware that there are some proposals, such as proposals for comprehensive financial account reporting and increased reporting requirements of crypto transactions, that may have an indirect impact on them. Examining the impact of each proposal on your unique circumstances may provide opportunities to make adjustments to better align your wealth and philanthropic plans to these changes if they are enacted. Moderate Democrats in the House and Senate may seek to scale back some of President Biden’s proposals and may seek to block others.Īction item: For some individuals, enactment of any or all of the provisions could have a significant impact on their income tax and wealth plans. The Green Book explains the revenue proposals in the President's budget and serves as a guidepost to Congress for tax legislation by describing current law (adjusted baseline), proposed changes, the rationale from a policy perspective, and Treasury’s revenue projection. President Biden’s tax increase proposals will need the support of all 50 Democratic Senators and nearly all House Democrats to be enacted over the expected objections of Congressional Republicans. The details of any statutory language will be the subject of action by Members of Congress and tax committees staff. Observation: While the Green Book provides more context and details with respect to President Biden’s tax proposals, it does not set forth draft statutory language. As originally outlined in his “American Families Plan” on April 28, President Biden’s individual tax proposals include increasing the top individual ordinary income tax rate from 37% to 39.6%, taxing capital gain and qualified dividend income at ordinary rates for individuals with income above $1 million, limiting the use of “step-up in basis” rules, and closing the “carried interest loophole.” They have been produced by the SCI/BCSA Connections Group, which was established in 1987 to bring together academics, consultants and steelwork contractors to work on the development of authoritative design guides for structural.

The Treasury Department on May 28 published the ‘General Explanations of the Administration’s Revenue Proposals’ (traditionally known as the ‘Green Book’) providing additional details of tax proposals included in President Biden’s FY 2022 budget submission to Congress, many of which may affect high-income individual taxpayers. The Green Books gives essential guidance for structural steelwork connections for use in buildings.
