A looks fine.
Proposal to tax - is the correct usage.
"the proposal to tax away all capital gains on short-term
investments" is a noun phrase
B - proposal of taxing - is incorrect usage
C - The participle phrase after the comma has nothing to modify
D - prepositional phrase has nothing to modify
E- taxing is not clear in what it refers to
All these choice make it look like "taxing away ....." if enacted .....
I hope I am right here.

I think I overlooked this one and thought "its" in A had no referent. But "its" is indeed refering to the "proposal" in which case A would be more concise
