I want to see 25 million new small business applications [?] by the end of my first term [2028], and to help achieve this we will lower the cost of starting a new business. On average, it costs about forty thousand dollars to start a new business in America.
That is a great financial barrier for a lot of folks, and it can hold entrepreneurs back. And the current tax deduction for a start-up ["new" business establishment] is just five thousand dollars.
So you gotta make up the delta [sic] there. You gotta figure out how you're going to do that. Not everyone has access to that kind of wealth and capital. So party of my plan is we will expand the tax deduction for start-ups to fifty thousand dollars. It's essentially a tax cut for starting a small business.
Second, my plan will help existing small businesses grow. We will provide low- and no-interest loans to small businesses that want to expand and we will—and this is very important—cut the red tape that can make starting and growing a small business more difficult than it needs to be. more difficult than it needs to be. For example, we will make it cheaper and easier for small businesses to file their taxes, similar to how individuals can take a standard deduction. You know, I said to my team, kind of like—now, I'm going to date myself again, because the they no longer do it—kind of like, you remember, the 1040-EZ [personal income filling form], like that kind of ide, right? Let's just take away some of the bureaucracy in the process to make it for people to actually do something that's going to benefit our entire economy.
Watch the video. The expressions on the faces in the crowd are priceless.
@13:28 Finally, my plan will make our tax code more fair, whil also prioritizing investment and innovation. So let us be clear. Billionaires and big corporations must pay their fair share in taxes. Because here's the thing, it's just not right that those who can most afford it are often paying a lower tax rate than our teachers, our nurses, and our fire fighters. It's just not right. It's just not right. So that's why I support a billionaire minimum tax [Form BMT?] and corporations [Form C] paying their fair share. And while we ensure that the wealthy and the big corporations pay their fair share, we will tax capital gains at a rate that rewards investment in America's innovators, founders, and small businesses. So here's the detail, if you [?] earn a million dollars a year or more, the tax rat on your long-term capital gains [personal, corporate, or both?] will be twenty-eight percent under my plan, because we know, when the government encourages investment, it leads to broad-base economic growth, and it creates jobs which makes our economy stronger.

After that, Harris visited another women-owned small business, Port City Pretzels, which was founded in 2015 and had expanded out of its original, 500-foot facility into a larger location.
Ms. Harris's proposal, which she introduced at a campaign event in New Hampshire, was directed squarely at business owners and wealthier Americans who are skeptical of Democrats and have gravitated toward former President Donald J. Trump. In the same speech, she rolled out her new plan for an expanded tax break for start-ups.¶ 3 Owners of so-called pass-through businesses, the structure for the vast majority of corporations in the United States, already enjoy access to a generous deduction that many progressives view as overwhelmingly benefiting the wealthy.Mr. Biden had proposed taxing capital gains at 39.6 percent for Americans who make more than $1 million a year. Ms. Harris said on Wednesday that she would tax investment income for those Americans at a rate of 28 percent, a reversal from her earlier support for the tax increases included in the White House budget released this spring. "If you earn a million dollars a year or more, the tax rate on your long-term capital gains will be 28 percent under my plan," Ms. Harris said at a brewery in North Hampton, N.H.

The recovered money comes as part of the effort to ensure wealthy high-income individuals pay the taxes they owe under the Biden administration's Inflation Reduction Act, according to the department's release.
[...] "Nearly 80% of these 1,600 millionaires with delinquent tax debt have no[t] made a payment, leading to over $1.1 billion recovered," the department said. "This is an additional $100 million just since July, when Treasury and IRS announced reaching the $1 billion milestone."
