How the 20% Pass-Through Deduction Impacts Businesses, Local Economies
The U.S. Chamber urges Congress to enact the “Main Street Tax Certainty Act,” which would make the 20% pass-through deduction permanent.
In 2017, Congress passed a permanent reduction to the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
