ABC Highlights Support for 2025 Tax Proposals

On Dec. 5, ABC sent a letter to Speaker Mike Johnson highlighting the critical provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act set to expire in 2024. ABC specifically called for extending or making permanent the 20 percent qualified business income deduction for pass through businesses, individual rates, and estate tax exemption provisions included in the TCJA. ABC’s letter also backs efforts of U.S. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., and a call from nearly 150 House Republicans to strike a deal on critical tax extenders for U.S. businesses and employers.

With only two years left until key provisions of the TCJA sunset, ABC is working to preserve these provisions and ensure that lower tax rates and parity for main street businesses with larger corporations allow the economy to thrive, businesses to grow, and provide more Americans with job opportunities. ABC also continues to push for an end of year tax extenders deal, particularly the extension of the R&D tax credit.
