September 16 Is Dividend Lobby Day

Your Voice Matters In The Fight To Stop A Dividend Tax Hike!

If Congress doesn’t act soon, the current tax rates on dividend income will expire at the end of this year—causing taxes to soar by as much as 164% for some taxpayers, at a time when the economy is struggling to recover.

Raising taxes on dividend income—even just for higher-income taxpayers—would affect all taxpayers who receive dividends by discouraging investment in dividend-paying companies and potentially lowering dividend payments for everyone.

Raising dividend tax rates will impact more than 27 million Americans from all walks of life—not just higher-income taxpayers—and will disproportionately hurt seniors, who rely on dividends to supplement their retirement income.

Time is running out! We need your help.

  • Visit www.StopADividendTaxHike.org to tell Congress to stop the impending dividend tax hike and extend lower dividend tax rates for everyone.
