What are the dues? Are dues tax deductible?
Dues are based on the number of full-time employees in your company, with 4 exceptions: accounting firms, commercial banks, law firms, and hotels/motels. Federal tax law limits the deductibility of a portion of membership dues used for certain lobbying efforts. For 2023, 96% of your Chamber dues may be deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Dues are not a charitable deduction for federal income tax purposes. Contact your tax professional with any questions.
How do I figure out the number of professionals?
For accounting firms: Employees, owners and/or partners performing billable work, including CPA’s, CPA candidates, consultants and others. For law firms: Attorneys (including Associates and Partners), paralegals and others performing billable work. For questions, contact the Customer Focus Center at 513.579.3111.
