State legislators
are in the final stages of negotiating the state budget for FY2015-16. We
continue to hear that nonprofit tax exemption is at risk. Specifically, the
Senate has proposed lowering the existing $45 million cap on nonprofit sales
tax refunds. This would be a first step to eventually taxing all nonprofits
in North Carolina.
Please complete two quick actions by noon on Monday, September 14 to help protect all nonprofits' tax exemption:
1.
Call your House member with the following message:
"We urge
you to support the entire nonprofit sector by protecting our tax exemption.
Any change to the existing structure for nonprofit sales tax refunds will
ultimately hurt all nonprofits, including my organization. Please tell
Speaker Moore that you can't vote for a tax package that lowers the existing
cap on nonprofit sales tax refunds."
2.
Tweet your House member with one of the following message(s):
- .@__________ Taxing #nonprofits will cost NC - stand with the nonprofit community. Learn more: http://bit.ly/1Kd41EN #ncga #ncpol
- .@__________ Protect #NC taxpayers and communities - don't tax our #nonprofits. Learn more: http://bit.ly/1Kd41EN #ncga #ncpol
