Many trades tied to U.S. markets or U.S. people would cost a little more. Some lower- and middle-income individual investors could get that tax back through a new tax credit.
Modern Action shows what the legislation would change, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Wall Street Tax Act of 2023 is a Senate bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and firms that trade financial assets tied to the United States. Brokers, exchanges, and trading platforms would need systems to collect, pay, and report the tax. Individual investors could face higher trading costs, but some lower- and middle-income people could claim a credit. High-volume traders and firms that trade often would likely feel the tax most because it applies to each covered transaction.
Why this matters: This bill matters because it would make many U.S.-linked financial trades cost more. That could raise federal revenue and could slow some very short-term trading. It could also affect trading volume, prices, and market liquidity, meaning how easy it is to buy or sell without moving the price. The bill does not say exactly how markets would respond.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
