Impact Analysis

Personal Impact

Life & Work

By making large mergers more expensive from a tax standpoint, this bill could reduce the number of mega-mergers that consolidate industries and squeeze out smaller competitors. Small businesses may benefit from a more level playing field in markets where giant corporations currently dominate through aggressive acquisition strategies.
