Tax Issues Affecting Investors

Taxes are a key factor that households must consider in making decisions to save, invest, and manage their money. The tax code offers many incentives for Americans to plan prudently to meet financial goals for retirement, education, health care, and other family needs. Good tax laws also bolster capital formation—crucial to the growth of our nation’s economy and prosperity. Unfortunately, some taxes also can discourage savings and investment, thereby reducing long-term economic growth.

ICI strongly supports sound tax policy that encourages and rewards savings, investment, and capital formation.
