Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access

The Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access is one of five subcommittees within the House Committee on Small Business. It focuses on a specialized slice of the parent committee's work: evaluating how financial markets operate and whether they effectively provide capital to small businesses, reviewing federal programs especially those overseen by the Small Business Administration, and examining how federal tax policies affect small business access to capital and growth.

The subcommittee's jurisdiction includes oversight of capital access and financial markets including FinTech and digital asset companies, as well as SBA financial assistance programs such as guaranteed loans, microloans, and certified development company loans. Because tax policy plays an integral role in access to capital, the subcommittee also examines the impact of federal tax policies on small businesses.

The subcommittee is chaired by Representative Beth Van Duyne of Texas, who brings experience from her previous role as chair of the Oversight, Investigations, and Regulations Subcommittee and her service on the House Ways and Means Committee. The ranking member is Representative LaMonica McIver of New Jersey. The subcommittee has nine total members, with representation from both parties working to develop policy solutions affecting Main Street America.
