We’re not out of the woods on COVID-19, but we’re getting there. And as we emerge, we need an economy that grows and creates opportunity. That requires a reliable, consistent, and competitive tax code for America’s businesses. We have that now. Before COVID it created record low unemployment, higher wages, and brought business back to America. A tax increase will undermine our ability to compete internationally, slow recovery and set us back.
As a result of tax reform, today’s U.S. corporate tax system is competitive with the rest of the developed world and encourages companies to invest in American workers, families and communities. This resulted in:
• The fastest two-year wage growth rate in 20 years,
• The lowest unemployment rate in 50 years,
• Better-than-expected growth in GDP and investment by American companies.
Business Roundtable supports tax and fiscal policies that promote innovation and create more opportunity for America's workers, communities and job creators.
The U.S. corporate tax system rewards American's hard work through wage growth, increased job opportunities and revitalized business investment.
Today's tax system on business activity help secure American jobs and stimulate investment in the United States.
As other countries prioritize economic growth, the U.S. needs to keep pace with its global competitors. Doing so will require maintaining our competitive corporate tax environment to ensure America remains an attractive place for businesses to invest.
