Financial Transaction TaxA financial transaction tax is characterized as a levy on a particular transaction of a certain purpose. It is also important for any business and owner to be conscious of. Since the start of the first financial transaction bill in 2008, financial transaction tax bills have been proposed multiple times since 2009 in the U.S.
The bill that is in use now, suggested a tax of 0.25% of stock, 0.02% of features contracts on the buying or selling of specified commodity, and 0.02% of credit default swaps between two firms would be implemented. The projected revenue of this tax, being $150 billion, would be used deficit reduction and job promotion. While this tax does not apply to families, the businesses within the United States are subject to adhering to these financial transaction tax policies. What do you think about this tax?
