H. 828: Surcharge on high incomes

  • H. 828 would institute a 3% personal income tax surcharge on personal annual income over $500,000

  • It is a marginal tax, so would only affect income over $500,000

  • The proposal would only affect the wealthiest 2% of Vermont taxpayers

  • The proposal would raise over $70 million in state revenue each year

  • More revenue means more money for fixing our roads and bridges, funding schools where our students can thrive, supporting Vermont families, increasing access to healthcare and housing, and protecting our environment
