Business Coalition Weighs in on Need for Tax Extenders
Posted Tuesday, November 15, 2011 by Don Kapuscinski
Once again a number of important tax incentives are scheduled to expire on December 31st, clearing the way for a tax increase on millions of U.S. taxpayers that benefit from these provisions. Manufacturers have an interest in a number of these provisions including the Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) look through rules, deferral for active financing, and the R&D tax credit that help us create and retain jobs and compete in the global marketplace. Because of the importance of these and other provisions to the business community, the NAM today joined more than 1,500 other companies and organizations on a letter to all members of Congress urging them to act quickly to extend these pro-growth, pro-job provisions.
While many in Congress focus on much-needed tax reform, the letter makes a strong case for why these “extenders” can’t wait until negotiators agree on how to revamp the tax code. “The lack of timely congressional action to extend these provisions would inject more instability and uncertainty into the economy and further weaken confidence in the employment marketplace… Even though Congress has begun to consider tax reform proposals, a wide-ranging group of taxpayers is making decisions right now related to current law which will have an immediate impact on the economy.”
Plain and simple, “tax extenders” mean jobs and competitiveness for the U.S. economy It’s something that we can ill-afford to wait for in these unsettled economic times.
