Membership Dues Announced
The membership dues for 2003 will be as follows:
Active $450
Affiliate $225
Resident $25
Educational $225
Educational (student) $10 |
As in the past, this information is being provided for
those who wish to renew their membership in December.
The 2003 dues statements will be mailed to the membership
in December 2002, although members may soon renew their
dues online through the “Members Only” section
of the ASA Web site at <www.ASAhq.org>.
Dues payments should be deductible by members as an
ordinary and necessary business expense; in the case
of membership dues paid to a section 501(c)(6) organization
such as ASA, this means the “business expense”
deduction will be denied to the extent that membership
dues are spent by the organization on lobbying.
At the time of the distribution of the dues statements
for the coming year, ASA is required (in order to avoid
paying a proxy tax) to provide members with an estimate
of what the nondeductible lobbying percentage will be
for that year. This percentage will be included on your
2003 dues statement, which will be mailed in mid-December
2002.
Anesthesiology groups paying association membership
dues on behalf of an employee (e.g., nurse anesthetist)
should bear in mind that they must include in the employee’s
taxable income on Form W-2 that portion of the association’s
dues that the association reports to the IRS as attributable
to lobbying expenses.
