What it means: Congress has the ability to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent and stop a massive tax hike on nine out of 10 small businesses. NFIB’s new TV ads encourage Congress to take action ahead of key moments in the legislative calendar.

Our take: “These new TV ads reflect what we’ve heard from NFIB members across the country. Over the last seven years, America’s small businesses and their employees have experienced firsthand the value of the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction,” said NFIB President Brad Close.

Take Action: Urge your legislators to make the 20% Small Business Tax Deduction Permanent

NFIB launched new national television advertisements highlighting the critical role of the 20% Small Business Deduction. The TV ads are a continuation of NFIB’s multi-year campaign to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent. In a letter to the U.S. House Committee on Ways & Means, NFIB expressed strong support for the recent legislative proposal to make the Small Business Deduction permanent and increase its value from 20% to 23%.

With the deduction set to expire at the end of this year, the advertisements urge Congress to make this vital relief permanent and prevent a massive tax hike on small businesses. The ads feature NFIB members who share how the 20% Small Business Deduction has allowed them to hire workers, expand their operations, and give back to their communities.

In addition to highlighting the value of this deduction, these small business owners shed light on the dire consequences if Congress fails to act. Recent NFIB polling found that 93% of Americans believe Congress should stand up for small business by making the 20% Small Business Deduction a priority.

It is time for Congress to act before it is too late. Urge your elected officials to make the 20% Small Business Deduction permanent.
