The Personal Income Tax Law and Corporation Tax Law impose taxes upon income, including income generated from any gain from the sale or exchange of a capital asset.

The bill would reduce those taxes depending on how many years has passed since the qualified taxpayer's initial purchase of the qualified asset.
