Important Tax Information for OPA Members

The Revenue Reconciliation Act of 1993 has ruled that dues paid to associations are non-deductible to the extent of the association's lobbying expenditures.
For 2004 OPA dues paid, it has been estimated that 13 percent will be allocated for lobbying and related activities and therefore not deductible as a business expense.
Please consult your tax accountant for further information.
