Small business owners have a new reason to celebrate—tax relief is here. The recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) introduces permanent tax deductions, enhanced credits, and expanded eligibility criteria designed to put more money back into the hands of entrepreneurs and help fuel growth in communities across the country.

Thanks to the U.S. Chamber’s new Step-by-Step Guide for Small Businesses, owners can now better understand how to maximize their savings and take advantage of these new provisions—starting immediately. Even better, many of these benefits apply retroactively to expenses dating back to January 20, 2025.

Key Benefits for Small Businesses

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act aims to deliver certainty and long-term relief for businesses of all sizes, but small businesses stand to gain in significant ways:

  • Permanent Deductions: Lock in savings year after year, making financial planning more predictable.

  • Enhanced Tax Credits: Access bigger incentives for areas like hiring, innovation, and energy efficiency.

  • Expanded Eligibility: More businesses can now qualify for key tax breaks, opening opportunities for sectors previously excluded.

According to members of the Chamber’s Association Committee of 100 (C100)—representing industries from farming and construction to retail and finance—these provisions will:

  • Boost reinvestment in local businesses

  • Create new jobs and strengthen the workforce

  • Bolster American manufacturing and production

  • Increase prosperity across communities nationwide

Take Action Now

Understanding how to apply these provisions to your business can mean thousands of dollars in savings. The U.S. Chamber’s guide breaks it down into practical, actionable steps so you can start planning today.
