WASHINGTON (April 18, 2016) — The Tire Industry Association (TIA) is urging its members to contact their senators to urge them to vote on a bill that would bring about a full and permanent repeal of the estate tax.
TIA is a member of the Family Business Estate Tax Coalition, a group of more than 100 small business associations dedicated to fighting for a repeal of the estate tax, TIA said in the April 18 issue of its weekly Legislative Update.
The Death Tax Repeal Act of 2015 has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a 240-179 vote, according to TIA Executive Vice President Roy Littlefield, writing in the Legislative Update.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is a co-sponsor of the Senate version of the estate tax repeal bill Mr. Littlefield said, urging TIA members to “please contact your senators and let them know how important this bill is!”
