Plain-English Summary

The proposal would allow people and businesses to adjust the original purchase price of investments upward based on inflation before calculating taxes owed when those investments are sold, potentially reducing the capital gains taxes they pay. This would primarily benefit wealthy investors and business owners who hold stocks, real estate, and other assets for long periods, since they could exclude inflation-driven gains from taxation. The change could reduce federal tax revenue but would lower tax bills for people selling appreciated assets.
