The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) became law on July 4, 2025, which brings major changes to the U.S. tax code particularly targeting small business operators. The modifications require Atlanta entrepreneurs to understand them because they determine strategic planning and financial management decisions.
The OBBBA increases the small business tax deduction from 20% to 23% and makes it permanent. About 26 million entrepreneurs each year gain tax relief from this modification which encourages business reinvestment.
The QBI deduction, previously set to expire, is now permanent. Additionally, the phase-out thresholds have been increased, enabling more business owners to qualify for this deduction.
The bill restores 100% immediate expense for qualified property, allowing businesses to write off investments, expansion, and modernization costs in the year they are incurred.
These provisions provide Atlanta business owners with opportunities to reduce tax liabilities and invest in growth. However, it's essential to consult with tax professionals to navigate the complexities of these changes and optimize financial strategies.
