Small business owners are once again facing difficult problems: taxes. According to the new OP-ED of Peter Hansen’s RealClearMarkets, the research and policy analysis director of the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), this year’s priority has changed. As the inflation cooling and labor market pressure is easy, taxes have emerged as a major concern of the main street, as emphasized in the NFIB SBET (Small Business Economic Trends) survey.
The tax burden is the central stage
Hansen loves the stress of managing the business tax to climb the mountain while holding a heavy backpack. «Imagine that you are climbing a mountain with heavy stones. You are strong and willing to manage, but weight is important,» he explains. This metaphor shows how the burden of taxes can slow the growth and productivity of small businesses.
NFIB has closely monitored the problems that affect small companies for more than 50 years, and taxes have been considered the best concern. In fact, for the first time since 2017, taxes have overcome other pressure issues such as inflation and labor shortages. Hansen said, “This problem is calm, but taxes are the same as any time.
At the end of this year, the imminent expiration of small business deductions amplifies the emergency. If the parliament does not take action soon, the owner of small businesses may face a significant tax increase. Fortunately, there is a potential solution to the horizon: “One big beautiful bill”. This law promises not only to make a 20% deduction permanently, but also to expand the teeth to 23%.
The main benefits of legislative measures
If it is enacted, one big beautiful bill can alleviate the financial pressure that small businesses are currently experiencing. For small business owners, 20% deductions were important for maintaining operation. This allows you to reduce taxable income to secure more funds for investments, employees and business expansion.
Make this deduction permanently with the proposed increase can greatly improve cash flow. Small business owners are in a better location where they can reinvent the company, hire and innovate and innovate. Hansen emphasizes that this is a real promise of relief for those who explore the dangerous terrain of the current economic environment.
Actual application for small business owners
The employer should consider the impact of losing 20% deductions. Depending on the maturity, many people need to reduce their investment or expansion plans to rebuild their financial strategies and to offset the increase in tax debt. Maintaining awareness of the legislative environment is important for making a decision based on information.
Small business owners can advocate one Big Beautiful Bill Act to contact Congress representatives to express support for the proposed change. If you participate in grassroots efforts, your voice can be amplified to create a wire that is advantageous for small business tax reduction.
Potential challenge in the future
The potential benefits of tax reform are clear, but some challenges remain. The passage of the bill applies the complexity of the parliament, which can delay or cut off the proposal. For small business owners, optimistic conditions are essential, but on January 1, it is necessary to prepare for uncertainty, including the possibility of a tax increase.
In addition, a wide range of economic environments, including the possibility of movement of inflation or employment indicators, can have a ripple effect on small business stability. Taxes are unexpectedly burdensome, causing a cash flow crisis or limiting growth opportunities can make financial predictions more difficult.
In summary, the message of Hansen of NFIB is clear. Small business owners are at an important point of tax policy and are time to act now. When they explore these turbulent water, it is important for continuous success to understand the effects of taxes, to defend beneficial bills, and to plan uncertainty.
