Washington, D.C. (PRESS RELEASE – November 8, 2009) — The Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) is reporting what the small business community has been saying all along – proposed tax increases on the “wealthy” amount to big tax increases on small business owners.

In a November 3, 2009 memo, the JCT estimates that one-third of the $460.5 billion estimated to be raised from H.R. 3962, the “Affordable Health Care for America Act,” through a proposed 5.4 percent surtax is business income.
