On May 8, PANews reported that the Missouri House of Representatives passed a bill on May 7 proposing to completely exempt capital gains tax on assets such as stocks, cryptocurrencies, and real estate, becoming the first state in the United States to implement such a policy. The bill has been submitted to Republican Governor Mike Parson for signature, who stated he 'strongly supports' it. If enacted, individual investors will be exempt from taxes starting in 2025, while corporate tax exemptions will be gradually implemented based on fiscal revenue growth.
