WASHINGTON, D.C. – Through critical tax cuts and full expensing for research and development and capital investments, the One Big Beautiful Bill will boost West Virginia’s manufacturing industry.

“West Virginia’s manufacturers and small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and for too long, they have been stifled by high taxes and burdensome regulations. The One Big Beautiful Bill provides historic tax cuts and investments in manufacturing, which will create more jobs, boost wages, and grow West Virginia’s economy,” Senator Capito said.

West Virginia Wins:

  • No tax on auto loan interest for new cars made in the U.S.
  • Full expensing for new factories and factory improvements to accelerate domestic manufacturing.
  • Full expensing for research and development to encourage domestic innovation.
  • Full expensing for new capital investments, like machinery and equipment, to boost domestic production.

What Others Are Saying:

“West Virginia is witnessing a manufacturing renaissance, and this legislation will further our positive trajectory,” Bill Bissett, President of the West Virginia Manufacturers Association, said. “By investing in manufacturing jobs here at home through both public dollars and increasing investment opportunities from the private sector, current employers who are looking to expand as well as those who may be considering moving to the Mountain State have more reasons to do so. We often hear that a good job fixes a lot of problems, but you also need good employers to choose West Virginia for their investments, and the One Big Beautiful Bill increases our ability to grow existing manufacturing and attract more companies, which strengthens our economy and gives more people the opportunity to call West Virginia home.”
