ABC members kicked off the start of tax season by attending a ceremony hosted by President Trump highlighting the positive effects of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on businesses. The ceremony took place on April 12 in the White House Rose Garden, where ABC members had the opportunity to hear President Trump speak about results of the tax reform bill.
Plans to Grow
As a result of the bill passed in December 2017, over half of ABC contractor members now plan to grow their team with additional employees. According to a recent poll, 52 percent of members plan on investing in concepts such as workforce development to strengthen their teams. Nearly all of the member companies (90%) believe that their employees have seen an increase in their paychecks.
Recent Findings
The U.S. Department of Treasury conducted an analysis which concluded that the construction industry paid the highest effective tax rate for any sector from 2007 to 2011.
