Chairman's Column
Coping with Tax Changes Now and Waiting for the Tax Reform Debate
Patrick L. Larmon, Bunzl Distribution USA, Inc.
NAW 2013 Chairman of the Board
In his Chairman’s Column, Pat Larmon provides thoughts on the tax policies you can expect from Washington, DC. If you are sorting out what the tax provisions of the “fiscal cliff” bill passed by Congress in January mean to your bottom line, think fast, because a whole new set of tax laws could be coming your way. Obama Care tax hikes take effect next year, and some in Congress are calling for more than a trillion dollars in still more tax hikes. And everyone wants “tax reform”—but positive reform remains solidly in the eye of the beholder. So what can you look forward to?
