This fall, the ACCF launched a concerted effort to promote corporate and business tax reform that encourages the necessary increased investment that will lead to greater productivity and job growth. Our mission is to advocate for pro-growth business tax provisions, including lower corporate tax rates but not “paid for” with higher taxes on business investment.

Sen CoburnThe ACCF launched its first Working Group on Corporate Tax Reform on September 14th and featured special presentations by Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Jerry Seib, Washington Bureau Chief of The Wall Street Journal.

The Working Group is comprised of ACCF Corporate and Association members who will focus on the impact of proposed business tax changes on capital investments across all sectors of the economy including manufacturing, mining, energy producers, utilities, financial services, real estate, transportation, construction, agriculture and other services.

Seib Representatives from each of these sectors discussed their key concerns and helped shape ACCF’s efforts to present the business community’s case for constructive tax reform through a combination of research, outreach and media.

The ACCF Tax Working Group will reconvene and ensure that the concerns of the business community are part of any tax reform discussions of the Super Committee and the debt reduction plan it presents to Congress by the end of 2011.
