Employment-based salons have been subject to unfair disparities in the tax code for decades. As service sector small businesses commonly owned by women and minorities, the beauty industry is deserving of equitable access to the existing 45 (b) tax tip credit which will create tax parity allowing salons to thrive.
The 45B FICA Tax Tip Credit for Salons is bipartisan, bicameral legislation which directly help women, minorities, and small business owners while shrinking the tax gap and increasing tip reporting compliance.
Hair salons, barbershops and other beauty service establishments are some of the most reliable paths to the middle class for women and minorities, employing more than 2x the national average.
Expanding this credit will help marginalized communities build a better future for themselves and their families.
