below $400,000 and couples making below $450,000.
This was a key concession for both Republicans and Democrats. Democrats
wanted the threshold for tax increases to rest at $250,000 and Republicans
didn't want marginal tax rates to increase for anyone.
The automatic spending cuts under the sequester will be delayed for two
months. The cost of continuing current federal spending levels will be
offset by revenue increases and some spending cuts. The spending cuts will
come half from defense and half non-defense accounts.
The two-month window is to allow Congress and the White House to come up
with a larger deal on spending cuts, leading to another (though smaller) "
fiscal cliff." Democrats see this deal as a victory because Republicans had
objected to using any new tax revenue to offset the loss of sequester
spending cuts, reports Garrett.
The estate tax: it was set to increase from 35 percent to 55 percent in 2013
. Instead, the compromise sets the new rate at 40 percent with the first $5
million worth of property exempt from being taxed.
Capital gains tax: Capital gains and dividend tax rates will increase from
15 to 20 percent.
Alternative Minimum Tax: a permanent fix to the tax that would hit middle
class families
"Doc Fix": doctors will be shielded from a massive reimbursement gap for
treating Medicare patients.
Unemployment benefits: unemployed workers will receive their benefits which
expired over the weekend.
Renewable energy tax credit: the tax credit for renewable energy companies
will be extended for another year. | g**********2
