With mind-numbing complexity, today’s broken tax code can make it incredibly difficult for our nation’s small- and medium-sized businesses to succeed, grow, and create jobs in our communities.Here’s how the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will lift these burdens off our Main Street job creators and the millions of Americans they employ:
More Jobs
• 25%: The hard-earned business income of our Main Street job creators will be taxed at no more than 25% – the lowest tax rate on small business income since before World War II. With this tax relief, they will be able to keep more of their earnings to grow their business, hire more people, and give their workers a raise.
• Zero, 12%, 25%, 35%, and 39.6%: Lower individual tax rates for small business owners, their
workers,and their families will give all Americans the freedom to keep more of their pay checks to use on what is important to them.
Fairer Taxes
• Eliminating the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT): Delivers simplicity, fairness, and certainty to millions of families and job creators who will no longer have to deal with the AMT – a feature of today’s broken tax code that forces many taxpayers and businesses to calculate their taxes twice every year.
• Delivering Immediate Relief from the Death Tax: Helps family-owned businesses and family
farms continue into the future by ensuring they will no longer face double or even triple taxation
when small business owners pass down their life’s work to the next generation.
Bigger Paychecks
• Unprecedented expenses of business investment: Helps unleash the growth of jobs, productivity, and pay checks by allowing small businesses to deduct more of the cost of new equipment that improves operations and enhances the skills of their workers.
• Preserving deductibility of interest expense: Small businesses will be able to write off the interest on loans that help these Main Street entrepreneurs start a business, hire workers, and increase paychecks.
