Last week, NH Journal published an op-ed by NFIB New Hampshire State Director John Reynolds calling for reducing the state tax burden on small businesses.

Reynolds’ op-ed focuses on the ways in which New Hampshire’s business tax system is a national and regional outlier. Last month, the nonpartisan Tax Foundation ranked the Granite State’s business tax climate behind New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.

From the op-ed:

As New Hampshire works its way through a period of economic uncertainty with diminished tax revenues, it should adopt pro-growth tax reform to drive greater investment and improve the state’s competitiveness.

Boosting private-sector growth and exercising fiscal restraint will benefit the entire state.

Four key tax changes would allow small businesses — the blocks of granite on which New Hampshire’s economy is built — to invest more in their workers, facilities, equipment, and communities.

…

Whether adopted all at once or phased in over time, these four reforms will help secure our state’s economic future, improve our business tax competitiveness, and make it easier for more small businesses to take the risks necessary to flourish and thrive.

We want New Hampshire to remain the economic engine of New England and a national leader in entrepreneurship. Pro-growth tax reform will help us lead the way.
