Support: AB450 Repeals the Business Excise Tax
Businesses don’t pay taxes—people do!
HEARING: Tuesday, April 7, 1:30pm
Assembly Taxation, Room 4100, Grant Sawyer Bldg. in Las Vegas Rm. 4401
Vote will take place by April 10th. Ask the committee chairman to take a vote.
AB450 repeals the business excise tax, which is currently imposed on each employer, at the rate of 0.63 percent of the wages paid to an employee by the employer. This tax was passed with the largest tax increase in Nevada history under Governor Guinn. During the good times they taxed, taxed, taxed…so they could spend, spend, spend. Now our state budget is in trouble, because of irresponsible tax and spend policies.
It’s important to remember that businesses don’t pay taxes, they just pass them along to their customers or if they can’t pay them they go out of business. My brother, Dan Hansen, had a roofing business. If he gave a customer an estimate for a roof for $5,000, he would tell the customer that half of the cost of the roof, some $2,500, would be to cover taxes, permits, fees, etc.
Right now while the economy is suffering is a good time to cut taxes. Maybe that business, that employer will be able to keep an employee working instead of letting them go. Maybe that employer will be able to hire someone else who can’t find a job. Maybe that employer will be able to give an employee a raise. Maybe that employer will be able to stay in business and continue to pay his state, local and federal taxes.
MESSAGE: Vote YES on AB450, Repeal the Business Tax. Please take a vote to repeal the business tax.
