Small Business Week Pushes Paperwork Tax Reform
Small business groups in Washington plan a lobby during Small Business Week to urge reduced paperwork and taxes, expand federal procurement opportunities, and stronger representation in government. They note 5 to 8 million firms employ 44 percent of workers and produce 37 percent of GNP, and argue for capitalizing on small firms as drivers of innovation and local leadership. They cite taxes on a $100 000 business dropping from 41 500 to 22 000 with a higher surtax exemption, and back Sen. Tower’s proposal to keep the 22 percent rate up to 100 000 pre tax income. They seek fair bids on the $55 billion federal procurement budget and a stronger role for small business in policy.
