This blog explores the origins of taxation, how it has evolved, and the many ways we’re taxed repeatedly on…

Upcoming Tax Changes for 2025

Introduction

As we approach 2025, various proposed tax changes are on the horizon that could significantly impact individual taxpayers and businesses. While some of these changes are still in the discussion phase, understanding them now can help you plan effectively for the upcoming tax year. 

Understanding the Basics of International Taxation: -

i. Standard Deduction Adjustments

One of the anticipated changes is an increase in the standard deduction amounts. While specific figures have yet to be finalized, adjustments are likely based on inflation. This could provide taxpayers with greater relief and simplify the filing process for those who do not itemize. 

ii. Changes to Tax Brackets

The IRS typically adjusts tax brackets annually to account for inflation. Taxpayers should be aware of potential changes in income thresholds for various tax rates, which could impact how much tax you owe based on your income level.

iii. Corporate Tax Rates

There is ongoing discussion about revisiting corporate tax rates. Depending on legislative outcomes, changes could affect how corporations are taxed, potentially impacting their financial strategies and overall economic activity.

iv. Capital Gains Tax Revisions

Proposals have surfaced regarding adjustments to capital gains taxes, particularly for high-income earners. Changes could involve increasing the tax rate on long-term capital gains or altering the thresholds for when these rates apply. The Union Budget 2024-25 brings significant changes to the taxation of capital gains, aimed at simplifying the tax structure and providing relief to taxpayers. The budget introduces new tax rates for both short-term and long-term capital gains, impacting a wide range of financial and non-financial assets. These revisions reflect the government’s commitment to making the tax system more equitable and less burdensome for taxpayers, particularly benefiting the lower and middle-income classes.

Short Term Capital Gains Short-term capital gains on specified financial assets shall be taxed at a rate of 20% instead of the previous rate of 15%. All other financial assets and non-financial assets will continue to be taxed at their applicable tax rates, maintaining consistency in the broader tax framework.

With economic insecurity comes people retreating to their "tribal" corners. Grocery prices and everything else went through the roof after Trump's tax cuts and tariffs were finally felt by Americans. The Biden administration had no power to bring down prices. But Trump won't be able to do it either.

But the entire American public was played by the Trump campaign led by Steve Bannon. They got Netanyahu to turn a blind eye to the coming terror attack as an excuse to tea up the Palestinians. Notice that the retaliatory attacks against the Gazan people have stopped now that the election is over? Notice the protests by Jewish and Arab Americans have stopped since the election is over? Notice that the constant ads celebrating pride have stopped now that the election is over. Notice the bussing of migrants to blue states stopped since the election is over? Steve Bannon/GOP spent four years irritating the anti-"fill in the blank" crowd to that people show up to vote to make the noise stop. The GOP perfected the way to get people to vote for their religious beliefs, too the detriment of everything else.

News flash: You religious beliefs won't change no matter who is in office, but your tax rates will.

US Tax Day & The IRS - Myth vs Fact

1) Myth - "If you get a small raise that bumps you into a new tax bracket, you'll end up taking home less money."

Fact - We have marginal tax rates, which means you only pay the new higher tax rate on the new part of salary.

2) Myth - "If I make a mistake on my taxes, I'll go to jail."

Fact - If you make a mistake on your taxes, the IRS will likely contact you with a bill to pay the remaining balance, and possibly a fee.

(I know someone who last year had 3 W-2s and only reported 2 of them. The IRS noticed, my friend said oops my bad and paid the remainder. There was no legal consequence, even for a 5 figure mistake.)

3) Myth - "The IRS is out to get ordinary Americans, and funding them more means more annoyance and harassment for me."

Fact - With the IRS' latest increase in funding, they are:

--improving customer experience, from offering a free filing website to reducing phone wait times

--sending refunds and other communications faster, as staff and modern-day computers are added to their operation

--catching unpaid taxes from millionaires and businesses, so that everyone pays their fair share

4) Myth - "Tax season is just one of those things that modern-day developed nations have to deal with."

Fact - Requiring each citizen to file their own taxes is a uniquely American / late-stage capitalism hurdle. The government already knows how much we owe, but TurboTax and others heavily lobby to keep their business as the middle man. In other countries, you just receive a statement from the government that is your tax owed or your refund, and that's all you have to do.
