NFIB Releases New Ads Urging Congress To Stop Massive Tax Hike On Small Businesses in Arizona

PHOENIX (Aug. 16, 2024) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization released new radio/video ads in Arizona. The ads continue efforts by NFIB to urge members of Congress to stop the massive tax hike on small businesses by passing the Main Street Tax Certainty Act to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent.

This is the most significant part of the 2017 tax law and losing it would impact every small business. Congress must act to make it permanent.” Background: The 20% Small Business Deduction was created as a part of the 2017 tax law to level the playing field between small businesses and larger corporations. It has empowered small business owners to overcome the economic challenges of the last few years – but it’s set to expire at the end of 2025. The Main Street Tax Certainty Act would make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent and avoid a massive tax hike on a majority of America’s small businesses.
