Ultra-Millionaire Tax Act of 2026
This bill establishes a new annual wealth tax on individuals with net assets exceeding $50 million, effective in 2027, targeting ultra-wealthy taxpayers by taxing the total value of their taxable assets rather than income. The tax uses a tiered structure with a 0% bracket up to $50 million, a 2% rate between $50 million and $1 billion, and a 3% or 6% rate on assets above $1 billion, with the higher rate applying if a universal health insurance program is enacted. It includes special rules for married couples filing jointly, trusts, and non-resident aliens, while also adding stricter information reporting requirements and increased IRS funding for enforcement.
