How the New Tax Law Affects Nebraska Businesses and Residents
Historic Tax Legislation Now Law
The U.S. Chamber applauded the House and Senate passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) and signing into law by President Trump. Previously, the Chamber led a national coalition of associations and state and local chambers—representing hundreds of thousands of employers across the country—in urging Congress to pass the bill.
The 119th Congress advanced pro-growth tax policies and avoided the largest tax increase in American history, which was set to occur when key provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) expired at the end of 2025.
Supporting Lawmakers
Securing permanent tax relief has long been a top priority for the Chamber. To ensure that the tax reform legislation reached the President's desk, the Chamber worked in states and districts to achieve several key priorities. This included educating constituents on the benefits of making President Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent and thanking lawmakers who are critical in supporting pro-growth policies.
That included working in partnership with state and local chambers from across the country to convene lawmakers with local business leaders in their districts to discuss the need to extend pro-growth business tax provisions.

What Businesses Are Saying
In our tax roundtables, businesses across the country are sharing the impact of pro-growth tax policies has on their businesses:
- “The cuts included in the 2017 TCJA were very important to our business customers and to CodeBlue Technology. For example, the expanded Section 179 deduction provides for technology investments to help our customers be competitive and grow. We thank Rep. Rob Wittman for working to extend and expand these provisions and supporting small businesses. When our customers grow through technology, we grow along with them. Together we provide more jobs and more opportunities within our community," said Trey Hayden, CEO of CodeBlue Technology in Mechanicsville, VA.
- “The tax cuts allowed and enabled me to invest in another part of my company. We’ve grown to be one of the top roofing and exterior companies in the country, purely because of the way we were able to depreciate our assets and get our depreciation back. And we paid for the new business. We currently employ 25 employees, about 75[subcontractors] every day, and that’s all because the [Tax Cuts and Jobs] act allowed us to reinvest in our people,” said Brady Clements, owner of SPG Roofing & Exteriors in Whiteland, IN.
- “The bonus depreciation was very significant to us, and the pass-through savings on the tax of corporate profits was a big deal to us. When you combine those things, it allowed us to move forward the very large investment in a new plant that helped with tremendous growth, and we added a number of employees to the organization,” said Michael Zara, President of the Phillips Tube Group in Middletown, OH.
- "We initially came to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in 2017. The 20% rate on taxes attracted us to do as much as we can here in the [United States]. When we took that opportunity, we were able to then write down improvements that we made to the property we purchased here in Gettysburg, and that included machinery and updating our facility. That catalyst for us to come back here enabled us to add ten jobs, and continue to run operations as a company and be successful from here in Gettysburg and outside the continental U.S.,” said John Boyer, CEO of KVG, a mission support and logistics company located in Gettysburg, PA.

What Lawmakers Are Saying
Federal lawmakers are meeting firsthand with local chamber leaders and local business owners to share how the tax reforms in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act benefits their constituents:
- “North Dakota businesses are the backbone of our communities both in terms of providing jobs and filling local leadership roles. We had a fantastic discussion this morning with Minot Chamber members about the tax and regulatory relief provided by the OBBB and other commonsense changes needed in Washington to better support our local communities. With these partnerships, my team can help make the federal government work better for North Dakotans.” said Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND-at-large).
- “The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has delivered real benefits for the Central Valley—helping our small businesses expand, creating good-paying jobs, and allowing families to keep more of their hard-earned money. As we discussed today, extending these pro-growth provisions is critical to sustaining that momentum and keeping our local economy strong.” said Representative David Valadao (R-CA-22).
- "I was delighted to be with local business owners as we advocate together for an extension of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Starting in 2026, failure to extend these tax cuts would be a devastating 25% average tax hike on Iowa families, farmers, and small businesses, the backbone of our economy and community.” said Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA-01).
- "The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) lowered taxes and delivered real relief for families, workers, and small businesses in my community and across the U.S. Letting these tax cuts expire and go away at the end of the year would raise taxes and hit families and businesses where it hurts the most – their pocketbook.” said Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ-06).
