  • 1.  Membership tax benefits

    Posted 07-28-2015 12:56 PM
    Can anyone share how they handle their tax receipts fro membership benefits? What is tax-deductible and what is not? A colleague and I were disagreeing about a percentage. I don't think that can be quantified so don't deduct a value. So what should we be deducting from the contribution? Mailing costs? Swag? Discounts? Tickets to events? Thanks!

    That is a good question.  And a timely one for us as well.  We are looking at revamping our Corporate membership program to include more benefits, but at a substantially higher cost.  Since the benefits have a clear dollar value, how much can the corporations claim as tax write off?
