President Joe Biden will propose a minimum 20% tax rate that would hit both the income and unrealized capital gains of U.S. households worth more than $100 million as part of his budget proposal to be released on Monday.
The plan -- called the “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax” by the White House -- represents the most aggressive proposal by the administration yet in Biden’s efforts to increase taxation on the wealthiest Americans.
