A business group study is finding one million jobs could be lost if President Joe Biden’s proposed corporate tax hike, among other policy changes, goes into effect.
The National Association of Manufacturers’s (NAM) study, conducted by Rice University economists, found that if policies including the increase to 28 percent corporate tax rate, as well as other changes, went into effect then it “would result in less economic activity and 1 million jobs lost in the first two years.”
The study’s calculation includes changes like “20% deduction for certain pass-through business income” being repealed “immediately,” the increased corporate tax rate, the “corporate alternative minimum tax” being “reinstated,” eliminating “expensing (100% bonus depreciation) of most investments in depreciable assets,” among other changes.
