Missouri Sen. Kit Bond teamed up with Rep. Kenny Hulshof yesterday in Columbia for an economic roundtable designed to tout a recent tax bill totaling $70 billion in cuts over five years. The economic roundtable was part of a whirlwind tour through the state this week by Bond to praise the recent passage of a law that extends existing tax breaks enacted in 2001 and 2003. They include a two-year extension of a 15 percent tax rate on capital gains and dividends that would've expired at the end of 2008.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans in Congress reached agreement Tuesday on a $69 billion measure to extend tax breaks for investors and prevent more middle-income families from being hit by a tax aimed at the wealthy. The bill would hand President Bush one of his top tax priorities, a two-year extension of the reduced 15 percent tax rate for capital gains and dividends, currently set to expire at the end of 2008. Republicans credit the tax cuts, enacted in 2003, with boosting economic growth and creating many jobs.

The lower tax rates on dividends and long-term capital gains enacted in 2003 have already yielded tremendous economic results. Investors, businesses and the U.S. economy have just started to accrue the most significant benefits from the reduced rates, but those gains may be temporary if the rates are allowed to expire at the end of 2008 as provided in current law. Indeed, the beneficial effects may stop long before then because of increasing uncertainty among investors and businesses as 2009 approaches. Congress must act soon to turn temporary success into permanent gain. President Bush is expected to seek to make these important tax changes permanent. That would keep the maximum tax rate on both dividends and long-term capital gains at 15 percent after 2008. If the changes are allowed ...

Thirty-six economies made it easier to pay taxes in 2007/08. As in previous years, the most popular reform feature was reducing the profit tax rate, done in no fewer than 21 economies. The second most popular was introducing and improving electronic filing and payment systems. This reform, done in 12 economies, reduced the frequency of payments and the time spent and filing returns. Eight economies reduced the number of taxes paid by businesses by eliminating smaller taxes such as stamp duties. The top 10 reformers for this year reduced the number of payments by almost half. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Morocco, Mozambique and Zambia revised their tax codes (table 8.2). In Latin America and the Caribbean, besides the reforms in the Dominican Republic, Anti...

The current ordinary income tax rates for individuals are 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, and 35%. Certain capital gains and qualified dividends are taxed at 15%, or 5% for taxpayers in the 15% or 10% tax brackets. Pursuant to the Jobs and Growth Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2003 and extended by the Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005, the 5% rate drops to 0% from 2008 to 2010. At least for now, 2008-2010 are tax-advantaged years for taxpayers with adjusted net capital gains (ANCG) in the 10% or 15% tax brackets. The favorable capital gains and qualified dividend tax rates apply to ANCG. The tax savings from the 0% rate depend upon what the applicable tax rate would otherwise have been. Tax-bracket management uses traditional income/deduction shifting techniques. The goa...
