WASHINGTON- The American Action Forum today announced it will host an event titled “Are Investment Incentives Necessary in Corporate Tax Reform” on Tuesday, September 26 from 12 p.m. – 1:30 p.m. in the Kennedy Caucus Room of the Russell Senate Office Building.

After the discussion, panelists will answer questions from the audience. Lunch will be provided.

There is growing interest in the issue of corporate tax reform as a way to boost economic growth and U.S. international competitiveness.  While any comprehensive tax reform involves a multitude of issues, one important issue is the extent to which a reformed tax code should include, or even stress, specific incentives to shape corporate behavior.
