Each year the Administration issues a proposed budget to Congress which outlines policy objectives, funding allocation, and concurrent tax changes from the coming fiscal year. In late March, President Biden issued the Budget of the United States Government – Fiscal Year 2023. The specific details are included in a separate document, General Explanations of the Administration’s Fiscal Year 2023 Revenue Proposals, also known as the “Green Book”. Issued by the Department of Treasury, it provides details on how the budget will be funded, including details on tax changes and increases. Like other years, there are several proposed changes, but the most interesting are those targeting high-net-worth individuals and families. This includes an increase of the top tax bracket to 39.6%, and the introduction of a new billionaire’s tax. To help clients, prospects, and others, Wilson Lewis has provided a summary of the key details below.

While it is unlikely the proposed budget will be approved without Congressional changes, it does provide important insight into the Administration’s agenda. The publication of the budget, along with proposed tax changes, serves as an impetus for Atlanta high net worth individuals to revisit their estate plans.
