EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION |
"The tax code is not here to be your friend. The tax code is here to generate money for the government," says Brian Scott, president of Capital Management, a money management, tax practice and financial consulting firm. But the tax code can be used to your benefit. Understanding the advantages and pitfalls of the tax code before you invest is essential to maximizing your profits. At this lecture at The New York Public Library's Science, Industry and Business Library, Scott helps the personal investor understand the basics of US investment taxation. He discusses changes in the tax code for the year 2000, long-term capital gains, and mutual fund and stock transactions. Scott also explains the disadvantages of the current alternative minimum tax and highlights proposed changes for the future. |
