ANCOR estimates that up to 10% of 2025 dues will be designated for “lobbying” activities. Under federal legislation, businesses may not take tax deductions for business expenses that pertain to lobbying. Therefore, for 2025, 90% of the above payment may qualify for tax deduction as a business expense. Please consult with your tax advisor.
