Michele Hansen: Section 174 改变了小型软件公司处理研发费用的方式,导致税负增加,影响企业运营。国会最初无意让此生效,但未能及时废除。现在,企业需要积极联系国会,提高对此问题的认识,并推动立法修正。作为小型企业主,我亲身经历了 Section 174 带来的挑战,税收增加了400%,这迫使我不得不重新评估公司的财务策略。我深知这不仅影响我的企业,还关系到整个小型软件行业的生存和发展。因此,我积极组织小型软件企业联盟,共同致信国会,强调 Section 174 对我们造成的实际困难,并呼吁立法者采取行动。我们希望通过集体的力量,让国会认识到问题的严重性,并尽快找到解决方案,以减轻小型企业的负担,促进创新和经济增长。 Michele Hansen: 我认为,企业主应该积极参与到 Section 174 的倡议活动中,即使没有签署最初的信件,也可以通过联系国会议员,分享企业的经历和担忧,来表达支持。每个企业的声音都很重要,通过集体的努力,我们可以影响立法进程,促使国会采取行动。此外,企业主还应该密切关注税务指导的变化,并与会计师合作,制定合理的财务规划,以应对 Section 174 带来的挑战。虽然 Section 174 带来了不确定性,但我相信,通过积极的行动和合理的规划,我们可以克服困难,实现企业的可持续发展。
