Lobbying Tax Deduction 2023
Based on federal law passed by Congress in 1993, a portion of members’ dues that are attributed to lobbying is not deductible as a business expense.
Therefore in 2023, the Home Builders Association of Kentucky estimates that $42 of your $80 dues is non-deductible due to HBAK lobbying efforts. Additionally, the National Association of Home Builders has declared that 18% or $35.64 of the $198 National Dues is non-deductible due to federal lobbying efforts.
Dues payments to HBAK and NAHB are not deductible as charitable contributions for state and federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments may be deductible as ordinary and necessary business expense, subject to exclusion for lobbying activity.
