Senate Finance Committee Delays Crucial Tax Legislation for American Businesses

The House passed the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 with bipartisan support, including immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures, but the Senate's passage is uncertain. The legislation is crucial for small businesses, with both the Finance Committee chair and ranking member expressing the urgent need for its passage. The current delay is impacting various industries, such as solar manufacturing, chemical production, and research and innovation. Despite bipartisan support and cost offsets, the hesitancy appears to be influenced by upcoming elections. This delay could significantly hinder innovation in the United States and jeopardize the future of many businesses, urging Congress to act now for the growth and competitiveness of American businesses.
