NFIB WV Releases New Ad Urging Congress to Stop Massive Tax Hike on Small Businesses

Radio Ads in West Virginia are NFIB’s Latest Effort Calling on Congress to Make The 20% Small Business Deduction Permanent

NFIB WV Releases New Ad Urging Congress to Stop Massive Tax Hike on Small Businesses

NFIB released a new radio ad in West Virginia to 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 West Virginia radio ad here: “West Virginia’s small businesses simply can’t afford a 20% tax increase right now,” said NFIB State Director Gil White. “Congress can avoid this tax hike by passing the Main Street Tax Certainty Act today and relieving West Virginia small businesses of another costly expense. If Congress does let the Small Business Deduction expire, Main Street businesses 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.
