Notice Of Lobbying Activity

With the current tax season upon us, we are required by the IRS to remind members that as a result of ongoing lobbying activities (by this Association) on behalf of our members, a small portion of dues payments are not deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense.

Our accounting firm has notified us that for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2013 the non-deductible portion of the dues paid would be 10.37%.

In addition to our staff activity, we will continue to use paid lobbyist to assist in making elected officials and government agencies aware of our members’ interests.

It is important to note that our Association has not endorsed, nor have we contributed any Association funds to any candidate for public office or any political action committee (PAC).

Our staff is ready to answer any questions you may have, just give us a call at 314.878.2304 or e-mail Vernon@FarmEquip.org for more information on our lobbying efforts.
