Joe Biden to propose big tax rises for billionaires and corporate America

Plans come as president attempts to boost his standing with Americans on the economy ahead of election

The Biden administration will target billionaires and corporate America with sweeping tax rises as part of a plan to cut the US’s record national debt and boost the president in the polls ahead of November’s election.

The proposals, expected to be unveiled in Thursday’s State of the Union address and over the following week, include an increase in the minimum corporate tax from 15 per cent to 21 per cent, as well as a 25 per cent minimum tax for billionaires.
