 Highlights:

- Individual marginal tax rates increase to 39.6% for certain taxpayers
- Net investment income tax of 3.8% applies on certain investment income
- The capital gains tax rates have a new 20% top rate. There are now three tiers of tax rates on capital gains and qualified dividends: 0%, 15%, and 20%. (Capital gains could also be subject to the new net investment income tax of 3.8%, making the top rate on long-term gains effectively 23.8% combined.)
