Key Findings
- The Harris proposals would, on average, raise taxes on the richest 1% of households – with incomes of $914,900 and above – by 4.1% of their income.
- Other income groups would receive tax cuts on average, including an average tax cut of 7.0% for the poorest fifth of Americans – with incomes less than $28,600 – and an average tax cut of 2.7% for the middle fifth of Americans (those with incomes between $55,100 and $94,100).
- The distribution of Harris’ plan stands in stark contrast to the impact of the tax proposals announced by former President Trump, which would, on average, lead to a tax cut for the richest 5 percent of Americans and a tax increase for all other income groups.
- Harris’ plan accomplishes this with targeted revenue raisers on corporations and wealthy households, as well as tax cuts for broad swaths of Americans and targeted tax credits for lower- and middle-income families.
