  • NRF has urged the US Senate to pass the budget reconciliation bill, citing its potential to deliver vital tax relief and stimulate economic growth.

National Retail Federation (NRF) has encouraged the passage of the Senate budget bill that is expected to provide critical tax relief to American families, workers and businesses, and foster economic stability and long-term growth. The US Senate has begun consideration of the budget reconciliation bill.

“Retailers are deeply invested in policies that fuel consumer spending, support small businesses and create the certainty needed for long-term business investment. This legislation delivers key tax provisions, including maintaining the corporate tax rate at 21 per cent, restoring immediate expensing for domestic R&D, reinstating the EBITDA-based limitation on business net interest deductions, and encouraging substantial investments in infrastructure and construction,” NRF executive vice president of government relations David French said in a press release.

“This bill is a balanced approach that will empower consumers, incentivise business investment and promote global competitiveness. This legislation is a balanced package that advances those goals, helping retailers create jobs and invest in communities across the country.”

NRF has also sent a key vote letter in support of the House and Senate versions of the budget reconciliation bill.

“NRF will continue to advocate for passage of this legislation and will work with lawmakers to ensure tax policy that supports American businesses and consumers,” the release added.
