A progressive group pushing Congress to raise the corporate tax rate is launching an ad campaign targeting FedEx and Nike, two large American companies with light federal tax bills, the group said Monday.
Tax March, which held dozens of demonstrations in 2017 calling on former President Donald Trump to release his tax returns, plans to release ads targeting FedEx on Tuesday. The TV ads will air in Washington, D.C., and in Memphis, Tennessee, where FedEx is headquartered.
Gas taxes, food delivery fees and more: Washington lawmakers eye 33 fees, taxes to pay for
Nowadays, the government needs more than gasoline taxes to fund its vast mission to expand, replace and preserve transportation routes in Washington state.
“Nobody likes to be taxed, but we also want to make this fair as we spread it across different sectors,” Hobbs said Friday.
That’s just beneath a 10-cent psychological barrier some colleagues have asked to avoid, Hobbs said. But more negotiations could send it higher, he said.
Congress — and Biden — can raise taxes retroactively if they want to - The Washington Post
As lawmakers consider the magnitude of tax increases, taxpayers may wonder whether those increases will be retroactive not only to the date of the bill's introduction, but to the beginning of 2021. This is an important and interesting question: Can tax legislative increases be retroactive?
Under conventional wisdom, the answer is no. Taxpayers should be able to rely on the existing rules; otherwise, the government's pursuit of short-term revenue could create a sense of unfairness and animosity toward the system.
Why stocks are at a record even with the dark cloud of higher taxes hanging overhead
Think a little more on the topic, however, and it actually all makes perfect sense, contends J.P. Morgan.
"While the possibility that corporate taxes are raised at a global level would be negative news for the corporate sector, we see three cushions.

Paying extra in taxes? IRS could send you refund | RochesterFirst
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Changes to unemployment benefits during the pandemic are causing some confusion.
“The IRS is getting ready to send out refund checks for that specific issue to tax payers very shortly. So a lot of people correctly filed their returns in January and February and traditionally that would have been taxable income. But that’s an issue that has some confusion around it.”

Raising Corporate Taxes Isn't the Only Way to Fund Infrastructure
In some ways, the 18.4 cents that the federal government collects on each gallon of gasoline sold in the United States is the ideal tax. Martin Wachs, a professor emeritus with UCLA's department of urban planning, goes so far as to call it "kind of magical."
But magical taxes may no longer be enough. The country is in desperate need of repair, President Biden has unveiled a massive infrastructure proposal, and the federal gas tax, which will turn 90 next year, is increasingly ill-suited to our modern world. Congress hasn't been able to bring itself to raise the gas tax since 1993, or even to tie it to inflation.

However, Wednesday, April 15, is still the day when an estimated tax payment for the first quarter of 2021 is due.
Q. The due date for federal tax forms has been pushed back to May 17. What about other income tax activity?
A. The TGIF (Thank God It’s Filed) date of May 17, 2021, also applies to state income tax returns since most reports to individual states use Adjusted Gross Income from the 1040 as the starting point for their tax computation. However, Wednesday, April 15, is still the day when an estimated tax payment for the first quarter of 2021 is due.
