Question: what is the capital gains tax on the sale of a business?
Answer: The long-term capital gains tax rate will be 0%, 15%, or 20%. If your income is less than $37,950, then you don't have to pay any long-term capital gains tax. If your income is between $37,951 and $418,400, then you only pay 15% tax. If your income is over $418,400, then you pay 20% tax.
