Lobbying Activities
GSBA began engaging in lobbying activities in 2017, and as such, we are reporting to all GSBA members the percentage of those lobbying activities (expenses) as they relate to total membership dues. Your dues payment as a business expense for the year 2023/2024 will be limited by the percentage of dues that went towards supporting lobbying activities, and only the remaining portion of your dues can be claimed as an expense on your federal tax return.
For 2024, the percentage of non-deductible dues pertaining to your tax return is 3%.
Lobbying funds are primarily related to educating elected state officials and their staff on the issues on our legislative agenda. If you have any questions about the implications of this information, we recommend you discuss with your accountant(s). If you need further information from GSBA regarding this topic, please contact us via email or by phone 206.363.9188.
Dues and Renewals
Membership dues and renewals are based on the calendar year from Jan 1 through Dec 31. 2024 Membership levels, benefits, and rates are reflected as of Sept 1, 2023.
