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

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 14, 2024) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, announced a new, national paid advertising campaign across 24 states featuring targeted radio, digital and video ads. 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. The campaign will feature state-specific radio, video, and digital ads.

The Main Street Tax Certainty Act would make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent and avoid a massive tax hike on nine out of 10 small businesses. Congress must pass the Main Street Tax Certainty Act now to level the playing field and help small businesses compete.” 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.
