President Donald Trump, in a surprising shift that challenges the traditional Republican fiscal Orthodoxy, has ordered congress republicans to consider increasing taxes to the highest gainful means within his extensive “great, beautiful law”. According to individuals who are familiar with discussions, Donald Trump defends himself for creating a new 39.6% of the tax belt aimed at individuals with income exceeding $ 2.5 million or couples earning over $ 5 million.
Congress is currently struggling with the upcoming expiration of reduced tax rates stipulated in accordance with the Tax Reducing Act and jobs in 2017, which is scheduled at the end of this year.
In recent interviews with House spokesman Mike Johnson emphasized Donald Trump the need to raise taxes to some of the richest Americans.
Washington Post said that administration officials have explored various options, including returning the highest marginal rate at Barack Obama level. Finance Minister Scott Bessnt also proposed to introduce a new tax group for those who earn over $ 5 million a year.
The president’s request was formally mediated during a telephone call with speaker Johnson on Wednesday.
In addition to the new tax group, Donald Trump has repeated his intention to cancel tax relief with interest, a provision that benefits managers of risk capital and private capital.
If set, the rate of 39.6% would mean the highest limit tax rate since the tax reforms in 2017 exceeded the current 37% threshold, which applies to individuals earning more than $ 626,350, ie $ 751,600 for marital couples.
Other measures under consideration include gaps that are currently allowing investment fund administrators to enjoy preferential tax treatment and store higher taxes on the owners of main stadiums and arenas.
These proposals are part of the wider Donald Trump strategy to finance the legislative package worth several trillion, which dubbed “one big beautiful account”, focused on permanent extension of tax cuts in 2017.
Republican legislators face rising pressure to reduce the total cost of this package, especially because internal divisions persist compared to proposed cuts on requirements such as Medicaid, which provides health coverage for Americans with low income.
By increasing taxes on top profit, he hopes to create a fiscal space to maintain the key elements of the Donald Trump tax agenda, including the removal of fees on tips and overtime.
Previous President Donald Trump said “he loves a millionaire tax”.
Recently Donald Trump has repeated another desire to allow deducts of interest on shopping for American cars.
However, this list of priorities has a hefty price tag – up to $ 11.95 trillion in $ 10, according to the Nonpartisan Committee for the Responsible Federal Budget – evokes tensions within the GOP line between Trump’s loyalists and fiscal hawks.
Some members of the Republican House from California and northeast also tried to increase the ceiling of how state and local taxes can be deducted from federal yields, which is another expensive priority that fiscal conservatives do not like.
