Vice President Kamala Harris has talked about raising taxes on America’s wealthiest and the nation’s large corporations, but could increases also come for golfers?
Harris, who formally accepted the Democratic Party‘s presidential nomination on Thursday, released the details about her economic agenda this week. The $5 trillion plan proposes a new tax on unrealized capital gains and the removal of tax on tips, but the rollout has sparked rumors that there could soon also be a golf tax.
Google searches for “golf tax” and “Kamala golf tax” spiked after a parody golf account posted an infographic on X, formerly Twitter, that claimed Harris was planning on putting a 20 percent sales tax on “all golf related purchases including, rounds, clubs, etc. in an effort to ‘Tax the wealthy.'”
