Tax Policy

The panel will offer both a review of broad tax reform issues and an in-depth discussion of the latest tax developments and priorities for the 111th Congress, including: methods to close the “tax gap” without burdening small business; permanent solutions to the estate (death) tax; ending the Self-Employment tax on health insurance; and approaches to equalizing top marginal tax rate for corporate and pass-through entities. Speakers will offer expertise on fundamental tax reform proposals—highlighting tax simplification and compliance—as ways to improve both efficiency and equity of the tax code. Our speakers will provide economic analysis, legislative proposals and outlook for 2009 and beyond.
