ABC Supports Main Street Tax Certainty Act

On May 18, Senator Steve Daines, R-Mont. introduced the Main Street Tax Certainty Act. The bill would prevent rate hikes on America’s individually and family-owned businesses by making permanent the Section 199A 20-percent deduction. This deduction was created by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act but is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2025.

The introduction of this legislation was widely anticipated in the business community, and ABC joined with more than 140 trade associations representing millions of Main Street businesses in a strong letter of support for the legislation.
