NFIB Releases New Ad Urging Sens. Shaheen and Hassan to Stop Massive Tax Hike on Small Businesses in New Hampshire

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONCORD, NH (Aug. 16, 2024) – The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization, released new radio and digital ads in New Hampshire. The ads continue NFIB’s efforts 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. Listen to the 30-second New Hampshire radio ad here: https://youtu.be/9SRMOl9YEIc Watch the 30-second New Hampshire video ad here: https://youtu.be/ITjkqgwTz-s “New Hampshire small businesses cannot afford a 20% tax increase right now, and that’s why we’re urging Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Senator Maggie Hassan to pass the Main Street Tax Certainty Act and avoid a massive tax hike on Main Street,” said Bruce Berke, NFIB New Hampshire State Director. “Small business owners continue to face numerous economic hurdles, and by making the Small Business Deduction permanent a tax increase is one less thing they have to worry about. If Congress doesn’t act, small businesses across New Hampshire will suffer.” “Small businesses are the foundation of our economy, yet more than 30 million of them are about to face a massive tax hike that would hurt their ability to create jobs and give back to their communities,” said NFIB President Brad Close. 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.
