The budget includes some new items, such as (1) replacing the Base Erosion and Anti-avoidance Tax (BEAT) with part of the OECD Pillar Two rules, called the Undertaxed Payment Rule (UTPR), and (2) imposing a new minimum tax on wealthy individuals, called the "billionaire's tax." The budget also includes tax provisions that fell out of the House-passed BBBA due to opposition in Congress, including:
- Raising the corporate tax rate to 28%
- Increasing the top marginal income tax rate (to 39. 6%) for high earners
- Reforming the taxation of capital income to tax capital gains of high earners at ordinary income rates
- Taxing carried interests as ordinary income
- Repealing deferral of gain from like-kind exchanges
