Tax Information

Generally, dues payments to the Personal Care Products Council can be considered an ordinary and necessary business expense for federal income tax purposes. Since 1994, the Internal Revenue Service has required not-for-profit trade associations, such as the Personal Care Products Council, to estimate on their dues forms the percentage of dues for the year that is not deductible to the extent that the Council engages in lobbying. Only certain types of direct lobbying activities with government agencies are included in this calculation.
