Under Dem Bill, Key States to Face Higher Taxes than China

The corporate tax rate increase and the capital gains tax rate increases in the Democrat reconciliation bill will leave states represented by swing-vote Democrats with significantly higher taxes than China.

China’s corporate tax rate is 25% and its capital gains tax is 20%.

In Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s Arizona, the combined federal-state corporate tax rate would be 30.1% vs. China’s 25%. The combined federal-state capital gains tax would be 35.17% vs. China’s 20%

In Sen. Maggie Hassan’s New Hampshire, the combined federal-state corporate tax rate would be 32.2% vs. China’s 25%. The combined federal-state capital gains tax would be 36.8% vs. China’s 20%.

In Sen. Jon Tester’s Montana, the combined federal-state corporate tax rate would be 31.5% vs. China’s 25%. The combined federal-state capital gains tax would be 38.41% vs. China’s 20%.

In Sen. Joe Manchin’s West Virginia, the combined federal-state corporate tax rate would be 31.3% vs. China’s 25%. The combined federal-state capital gains tax would be 38.3% vs. China’s 20%.

“All 50 Democrat senators need to explain to their constituents why they have decided to saddle them with higher taxes than communist China or Europe,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. “The last thing we need right now is a tax increase.”

Congressional Democrats are on the verge of raising the federal corporate tax rate from 21% to 26.5%. This would result in a combined federal and state rate average of 31%, higher than China and higher than America’s major economic competitors. The developed world average (OECD) is 23.5%.

If the Democrats’ reconciliation bill becomes law, the combined federal-state corporate tax rate and combined federal-state capital gains tax rates for all 50 states would be as follows:
