In 2017, NFIB and others worked with Congress to provide significant tax relief for small businesses. A survey on these tax changes confirmed that the overwhelming majority (78%) of small business owners believe the 2017 tax relief had a positive effect on the economy, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Small businesses operate differently than large businesses; they do not have human-resources departments to track the changing standards and rules that affect their workforce and workplace.

NFIB urges Congress to eliminate burdensome mandates and prevent cumbersome regulations that inhibit job creation.
