Capital Gains Inflation Relief Act of 2025

This bill would change how taxes are figured when you sell certain assets. It would adjust the original purchase price for inflation before calculating your gain or loss. This means taxes would focus more on the “real” increase in value, not just price changes caused by inflation.

In short, it aims to provide inflation relief for capital gains by indexing certain assets in the tax code, and adds related cross-references in law.

• Who is affected: Taxpayers who sell certain assets covered by the bill.
• What changes: Gain or loss would be based on an inflation-adjusted amount, not just the original purchase price.
• Why it matters: It helps ensure people are taxed on real growth, not inflation alone.
