When new tax legislation is introduced, headlines boom and business owners brace for impact. That’s what’s happening now with the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sweeping tax reform law that incorporates many changes, from tax credit eligibility to deductions and depreciation.
On the surface, the bill creates exciting opportunities. But buried underneath? Paperwork requirements, complexity, and the risk of falling out of compliance.
Here’s what business owners, especially those without a tax team, need to know:
The bill locks in major tax perks for small businesses, including a permanent 20% deduction on qualified business income and higher SALT caps for state and local tax deductions.
Why it matters: These breaks can help your business retain more cash, but only if your filings are accurate and in sync with the new standards. A single inconsistency can delay or even reverse your benefits.
Businesses can now fully deduct the cost of new equipment or domestic R&D spending immediately, rather than over several years.
Why it matters: This change supercharges your ability to reinvest and grow. But it also creates new risks if asset reporting or deduction classifications aren’t up to date.
Several clean energy credits, including electric vehicle incentives and some renewable credits, are being phased out early.
Why it matters: If your business invested under the assumption these incentives would last, it’s time to reassess. Misaligned strategies could lead to compliance gaps—or missed deductions.
This Bill doesn’t just tweak the rules; it rewrites large parts of the tax code, expanding definitions and revising estate and international tax guidelines.
Why it matters: Even experienced professionals will need time to adapt. Business owners relying solely on their accountant or memory may fall behind without realizing it.
Recent years have seen a sharp rise in IRS notices, penalties, and enforcement actions. As tax credits and deductions expand, so does the agency’s scrutiny.
Why it matters: Every change in this Bill means new data, new filings, and more room for error. Staying compliant isn’t just smart, it’s self-defence.
The One Big Beautiful Bill add clarity on the Employee Retention Credit (ERC). New rules limit eligibility, set hard filing deadlines, and trigger aggressive IRS enforcement.
Key Risks:
The ERC window is officially shut as of April 15 2025.
The Bill has officially limited Q3 2021 and Q4 2021 quarters to those submitted prior to January 31, 2024.
If you claimed ERC, double-check your eligibility and documentation now. Mistakes could lead to clawbacks or penalties.
Reading the entire Bill is unrealistic. Relying on your accountant alone may not be enough. Spreadsheets won’t alert you when something changes behind the scenes.
The real danger is what you don’t know is happening.
That’s why more business owners are looking for systems and platforms that help them track and monitor their business compliance status in real time, without needing to become tax experts.
