New Tax Laws Seen As Spur To Recovery
Tax experts say the new federal rules could aid long term business recovery by easing risk of expansion, encouraging new enterprises, and removing stock investment barriers. A carryover of losses to offset future profits, return of a two year prior loss deduction, is highlighted as a key provision. The Carryover could revive expansion during the recovery period if businesses take advantage.
