\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Though capital gains tax rates remain fixed today, most family-owned business<\/a> executives still worry about how they will affect their businesses, according to a new poll<\/a> by Family Enterprise USA.<\/p>\n The poll, conducted last month with cross section of family-owned business<\/a> leaders, asked, “Are You Concerned About Capital Gains Tax Affecting Your Business?”<\/p>\n The results from the survey showed 61% of family business<\/a> answered \u201cYes,\u201d they are concerned.<\/p>\n The poll also found 19% said \u201cNo,\u201d they were not concerned, while 20% were \u201cUnsure\u201d if capital gains tax rates<\/a> affected them or not.\u00a0 The poll was conducted among 105 family-owned businesses across the U.S.<\/p>\n Progress Scale of Rates<\/strong><\/p>\n The recently passed tax bill, H.R. 1, fixed long-term capital Gains tax rates<\/a> at a progressive scale of between zero and 20%.<\/p>\n For single tax filers, any capital gain under $48,350 has no tax levied, while 15% is levied against gains between $48,351 and $533,400, and a 20% rate is levied against any gains over $533,400.<\/p>\n The poll results, one of several conducted by Family Enterprise USA throughout the year, helps family businesses<\/a> raise awareness for damaging economic issues<\/a> and policies, according to Pat Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA and of Policy and Taxation Group, two organizations advocating on behalf of family-owned businesses and successful families throughout the U.S.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s important Congress understands the many tax and economic policies<\/a> that hurt, often unintentionally, family businesses of all sizes,\u201d Soldano said about the survey.\u00a0 \u201cThis poll, and others we conduct during the year, helps gauge the concerns family businesses have over policies and helps us let Congress know the impact they have on their economic growth<\/a> and investment.\u201d<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to family owned businesses<\/a> and protecting a lifetime of savings<\/a> has never been greater.
