1762145 NORTH AMERICAN EQUIPMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS EQUIPMENT DEALER 9df02cf1-e830-4e64-b50a-46c017a2c2fa Q4 NORTH AMERICAN EQUIPMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS EQUIPMENT DEALER 56997 NORTH AMERICAN EQUIPMENT DEALERS ASSOCIATION (FORMERLY KNOWN AS EQUIPMENT DEALER 2015 fourth_quarter TAX We support passage of legislation to reduce the number of years farm and ranch equipment is depreciated over from 7 years to 5 years. We also belong to an industry coalition that opposes changes in the LIFO method of inventory accounting for tax purposes. We continued to seek the extension of bonus depreciation and Section 179 provisions for 2015 and beyond (HR 636, HR 2510, S. 1660 and S. 1667). We have also commented previously 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. We continue to support legislation like the Marketplace Fairness Act that streamlines the collection of state's sales taxes and collections and levels the playing field for our dealers with Internet sales companies. We have also asked our members to write letters supporting Like-Kind-Exchanges in the tax code. The preservation of LIFO and LKE are major priorities for our dealers and we want them to be maintained in any tax code revisions. Supported HR 1105 that repeals the federal estate tax.
