问题如下:
In a country where dividend and capital gains are taxed at lower rates than interest income, and realized capital losses can be used to offset realized capital gains. A taxable investor could obtain highest tax-efficient if his taxable account hold more:
选项:
A.investment grade bonds
B.stocks focused on dividend distribution
C.stocks focused on capital gain opportunities.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:asset allocation中的税收限制
解析:应税账户中应当首先考虑征税低、或者可以抵减税收的资产。题中,dividend与capital gain的税率比interest income低,首先排除A。由于realized capital losses可以抵减realized capital gains(这被称为tax-loss harvesting),关注于capital gain的股票一旦获得损失可以抵减当前或者未来的capital gain,所以C更好。
为什么不选A?bond不就是获取interest么,而interest tax又比CG和dividend高,那不就应该把高税率的投资放在taxable account么?
