Beginning on September 5, 2024, 勛圖窪蹋厙 will host a three-part webinar series on the basics of construction financials. Designed for professionals with little to no prior tax or accounting experience, the series will provide a foundational understanding of key financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows. Later webinars will focus on fundamentals of construction taxes, and business operations such as identifying fraud, strategies to anticipate market changes, leveraging technology for efficiency, and creating a resilient infrastructure that adapts to future challenges.

In May 2024, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.), along with the Republican members of the Committee, created 10 "Republican Tax Teams" to explore different aspects of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA). Many elements of this legislation, which was the most comprehensive rewrite of the federal tax code in over 30 years, have either already expired, or will expire in 2025. Included in these expiring provisions are a number of provisions that are particularly important to the construction industry, including the ability to fully deduct the cost of new and used equipment in the year it is purchased ("full expensing"), the increased exemption level for the estate tax, and the so-called "qualified business income deduction," also known as the "section 199A deduction."
