NFIB Pennsylvania State Director Greg Moreland recently penned a letter in Broad + Liberty describing how the political stalemate in Harrisburg hurts small businesses when issues like tax reform need to be worked on.

He wrote, “Small businesses throughout the state need meaningful tax reform, but the General Assembly has ignored this issue at the expense of Main Street. Legislators have been complacent after the long anticipated corporate net income tax (CNIT) reduction of 2022, but most regular people don’t pay the CNIT. Most taxpayers pay the personal income tax, which is 3.07 percent, a rate that has been stagnant for years.

“My organization represents small businesses throughout the Commonwealth, and one thing is clear for small employers: if big-box stores benefit from a tax reduction, the same should be afforded to small businesses and those who pay the personal income tax. When Main Street sees tax relief, it results in money staying in our local communities and growing Pennsylvania’s economy.”
