Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, there is an income tax exclusion for individuals and tax-option corporations for 60% of the net long-term capital gains realized from the sale of assets held for at least one year.

This bill increases the exclusion to 75% of the net long-term capital gains realized from the sale of assets held for at least one year.

This bill will be referred to the joint survey committee on tax exemptions for a detailed analysis, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
