Bill information
Summary
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a wealth tax, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The Oligarch Act of 2023 would amend federal tax law to create a wealth tax on very rich people. The bill was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members but has not advanced past the introduction stage. A wealth tax would impose annual taxes on the total value of assets someone owns above a certain threshold. This is different from income tax, which taxes money people earn each year. The bill is currently in the House and awaits review.
