New York state lawmakers have reached a preliminary agreement to raise taxes on millionaires and give the green light to online gambling.
The two measures are part of the $ 212 billion budget to be voted on shortly and immediately arouse controversy.
Many, even among Democrats, fear that the tightening of the tax burden risks triggering a flight of the rich out of the state.
The millionaires of the city of New York will in fact find themselves paying a rate between 13.5% and 14.8%, the highest in America.
The agreement reached provides for a temporary increase in income taxes for those who earn over 1.1 million to 9.65% from 8.2%, two new rates are also created; those who earn more than 5 million a year will have an income tax of 10.3%, those who earn more than 25 million 10.9%. (HANDLE).
