For 2022, the percentage of non-deductible dues pertaining to your tax return is 10.3%. This non-deductible percentage represents the amount that cannot be claimed as a business expense by Brewers Association members on their 2022 tax returns.

Lobbying funds for the professional division in 2022 were related primarily to communications to educate elected federal representatives, senators, and their staffs on issues affecting small and independent brewers.

Your dues payment as a business expense for the year 2022 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. Contact your tax professional to determine the deductibility of your membership dues.

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 the Brewers Association regarding this topic, please contact me.
