We also belong to an industry coalition that opposes changes in the LIFO method of inventory accounting for tax purposes. We are seeking to the extension of bonus depreciation and Section 179 provisions beyond 2013. We have also commented on IRS Code Section 263A to the House Ways and Means Committee Tax Working Groups.The IRS Code Section 263A was enacted as a part of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 requiring taxpayers to capitalize direct and indirect costs properly allocable to certain real property and tangible personal property produced by the taxpayer and the real property and certain personal property that is acquired by the taxpayer for resale. Section 263A applies when a business has more than $10 million in sales for the year. The section is receiving renewed attention from the IRS as more and more businesses are exceeding the $10 million sales threshold. The IRS has not changed the required sales level since the original enactment in 1986. We supported a review by Congress of the existing threshold and recommend a new threshold of at least $100 million dollars as a way to exempt smaller business from this unnecessary burden and tax calculation. Monitoring the progress of the Marketplace Fairness Act (S. 336 and H.R. 684) that streamlines the collection of state's sales taxes and collections. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),Energy, Dept of,Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),Federal Communications Commission (FCC),Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration,HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Internal Revenue Service (IRS),Justice, Dept of (DOJ),Natl Labor Relations Board (NLRB),Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC),SENATE,State, Dept of (DOS),Treasury, Dept of,White House Office | 21820 | 0 | 0 | 2013-04-05T13:14:08.097000-04:00 |
