Voluntary Unrealized Gains Prepayment Program (VUGP)
A strategic, voluntary tax prepayment program designed to accelerate deficit reduction while providing investors with long-term capital gains tax benefits while ensuring low risk for participants.
🟢 Core Structure:
Â
📌 Two-Year Enrollment Period (2025-2026)
- Investors can opt in either in Year 1 (2025) or Year 2 (2026)—but not both.
- Year 1 participants receive a slightly better deal at the 10-year mark to incentivize early buy-in.
Â
📌 Prepayment on Unrealized Gains
- Participants pay a one-time tax on their unrealized capital gains at a fixed 8% rate, regardless of whether they opt in during Year 1 or Year 2.
- The tax is based on current unrealized capital gains at the time of enrollment.
Â
📌 10-Year Holding Period Before Any Sales
- Participants cannot sell any of the assets they prepaid taxes on for at least 10 years.
- After the 10-year mark, they may sell at a discounted capital gains tax rate.
Â
📌 Capital Gains Tax Discount After 10 Years
- When they sell, they receive a discount on their capital gains tax rate based on their participation year:
- Year 1 participants (2025) get a 10% discount on their capital gains tax rate.
- Year 2 participants (2026) get a 9.5% discount.
- Example: If the standard capital gains tax is 23.8%, Year 1 participants only pay 13.8%, and Year 2 participants pay 14.3%.
- This discount applies to up to 110% of their originally prepaid gains.
- Example: If someone prepaid on $100M in unrealized gains, they get the discount on up to $110M in future sales.
Â
📌 Flexible Selling Window (No Forced Sell-Offs)
- Participants do not have to sell at the 10-year mark.
- They can sell at any time after Year 10, ensuring no mass market sell-off occurs.
- If the participant passes away, heirs have five years to use the discount before it expires.
Â
📌 What Happens If Someone’s Gains Decrease?
- If a participant’s unrealized gains shrink before Year 10, they can:
- Wait for a rebound—their prepayment remains valid indefinitely.
- Apply their prepayment toward any future tax liability (capital gains, dividends, etc.) until their balance is used.
Â
📌 What Happens If Someone Goes Bankrupt? (Low-Risk Protection)
- No refunds, BUT they do not lose money on the deal.
- Their prepaid balance can be applied to future tax burdens, including:
- Capital gains tax liabilities (when they recover).
- Other investment-related taxes (dividends, business sales, etc.).
- If they rebuild wealth, they can still use their prepayment to offset taxes when they regain assets.
Â
📌 What Happens If Someone Dies?
- If a participant passes away before using their discount, their heirs have five years to apply the prepayment to their own tax liability before it expires.
