In fact, approx. 40% of the equities held by U.S. investors are in tax-deferred retirement vehicles, and therefore, not immediately impacted by any changes in dividend tax rates.”<br/> <br/> In addition, using IRS data, WisdomTree says that nearly half of investors holding dividend payers would be excluded from paying higher dividend taxes under President Obama’s plan because their incomes are less than $250,000 per year.<br/> <br/> Ultimately, WisdomTree echoes Rubin’s point, that people need yield and stocks are offering more than they can get elsewhere. The “dividend tax impact does not trump that of the market environment,” they wrote."
