If the business community fails to engage, the terms of the debate over the tax and trade policy choices ahead will be set without the facts and insights that the business community uniquely provides on the impact of policy choices on the US economy, business, and individuals.

Tax executives at private companies and in private capital — from private equity and venture capital to real estate — could also be affected. Portfolio companies, for example, could still face potential corporate tax rate increases and Pillar Two.
Navigating these challenges requires discussions on operating models to help to control costs, structuring transactions for tax efficiency, identifying potential savings and managing compliance.
