SBA: President's Proposed Tax Reform Plan Will Support Small Business Growth

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following statement was made by U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Linda McMahon on President Donald J. Trump's proposed tax reform plan:

"I built a business from the ground up, so I know first-hand how challenging the current tax code is for entrepreneurs. 

One of the first things I hear from the business owners I've met in my travels around the country is the urgent need for tax reform.  They want to see lower rates and a simpler tax code to level the playing field. 

President Donald J. Trump's proposed framework eliminates special interest tax breaks that benefit the wealthy and lowers the corporate tax rate, restoring our competitive edge and boosting our economy, which is always good for small business.  It also caps the top rate for businesses that operate as pass-through entities (S-Corporations and LLCs). 

This is reform that will be welcomed by small business owners!"
