Breaking Through the Noise: How Congress Can Provide Tax Certainty and Reduce Red Tape for Small Businesses
2024-03-06 08:30 - 09:30 | Zoom
Rockland Trust / Cranberry Country Chamber Speaker Series
Wednesday, March 6th 8:30 – 9:45 am via Zoom
Join us as Josh McLeod, Director of NFIB Federal Government Regulations helps our small businesses
Small businesses continue to face significant headwinds, including high energy costs, inflation, workforce shortages, increasing regulatory burdens, and tax uncertainty from the expiration of Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) provisions, most notably the small business deduction (199A). On January 1, 2024, one of the most expansive small business regulations in history went into effect. This beneficial ownership reporting requirement will require 32.6 million small businesses to report ownership information to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). Additionally, small businesses face a massive tax increase at the end of 2025. Congress must pass the Main Street Tax Certainty Act to provide tax certainty to pass-through businesses across the country.
