Washington State recently adopted two new taxes that directly affected Washington residents and
workers:
The Capital Gains Tax: 7% additional tax on capital gains of more than $250,000 a year. This
state tax is in addition to the Federal capital gains tax.
The Long-Term Care Tax: 0.58% additional payroll tax on wages to support long-term care
expenses that are typically for the elderly. This is in addition to the Federal payroll taxes (aka FICA
taxes) and as a payroll tax, there are no deductions or credits to reduce it. There is a loophole
individuals can avoid paying this tax if they had already purchased long-term care before the law
started in Oct of 2021.
Answer the following:
1. What type of tax system is:
the Capital Gains Tax (flat, progressive, or regressive), and why?
the Long-Term Care Tax (flat, progressive, or regressive), and why?
2. Briefly describe two tax systems (flat, progressive, or regressive) and give two reasons
why each is more ethical (or fair) than the others (4 reasons in total).
