President Joe Biden’s 2024 budget proposals could negatively impact small businesses.

The measures include increasing the top capital gains rate for income over $1 million, eliminating the “step-up in basis” loophole, and raising the corporate tax rate. However, tax experts are skeptical about the chances of the proposals passing without revisions due to a divided Congress.

Biden’s proposal would raise the top individual rate to 39.6% for earners above $400,000 for a single taxpayer or $450,000 for married couples filing jointly. Currently, those earning above $578,125, or $693,750 for joint filers, are subject to a 37% rate. The proposal would take effect for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022, potentially impacting more businesses.
