Statement by John Arensmeyer, Founder & CEO of Small Business Majority, on today̢???s passage by the U.S. House of Representatives of the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014̢??legislation that would give a retroactive, one-year extension for some small business-friendly tax credits that expired at the end of 2013
The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation today that gives a retroactive, one-year extension of tax credits that expired at the end of 2013, such as the wind production tax credit and Section 179 provision, which will provide some much-needed relief for small businesses that rely on them.
