"Capital gains tax on stocks may be straw that breaks camel's back"
Tuesday, October 28
Unfortunately, this headline comes from Vietnam, where "Some securities companies warn that the capital gains tax proposed to be introduced from January next year is too much too soon considering the gloom on the stock market."
For three decades, Mark Bloomfield has been an expert commentator on "Politics and Economic Policy on the Potomac." He serves as President and CEO of the American Council for Capital Formation, a Washington-based economic policy business group dedicated to encouraging economic growth through sound tax, regulatory, environmental, and trade policies.
"...to marshal more venture capital for more new industries -- the kind of efforts that begin with a couple of partners setting out to create and develop a new product -- we intend to lower the maximum capital gains tax rate."
"The tax on capital gains directly affects investment decisions, the mobility and flow of risk capital from static to more dynamic situations, the ease or difficulty experienced in new ventures in obtaining capital, and thereby the strength and potential for growth of the economy."
