Governmental Advisories
|
AH&LA's members are first to know about legislative and regulatory changes that impact their bottom line via electronic advisories. |
Americans with Disabilities (ADA)Accessibility Guideline Changes
|
Although the lodging industry already spent billions of dollars to comply with ADA regulations, the Justice Department proposed changes that would have cost additional billions of dollars to implement. With pressure from AH&LA, among other organizations, these proposals were withdrawn in January 2009. |
| |
Business Meal Deduction |
With the support of AH&LA, Congress introduced legislation increasing the deduction for business meal costs from 50% to 80%. It’s estimated the overall economic impact of this deduction will be $26 billion, but AH&LA is continuing the fight for a 100% deduction. |
Business Travel
|
In response to proposed regulations in 2009 by the U.S. Treasury to restrict business travel and meetings for corporations receiving government economic assistance, AH&LA and other travel associations immediately issued guidelines for corporations to use when responsibly planning business meetings. Members have resources at their fingertips to help reduce the threat of more cancelled business meetings, which have already cost the industry over $30 million. |
| |
Carried Interest |
Carried interest in a real estate trust is currently taxed at the capital gains rate of 15%, but Congress may consider taxing carried interest as ordinary income, imposing a maximum rate of 35%. In order to keep investments attractive in our industry, AH&LA is successfully lobbying against this legislation. |
|
Net Operating Losses (NOLs) |
AH&LA is working to extend carry back NOLs from two tax years to five, giving businesses more flexibility in offsetting profits in some years by losses in others, while benefiting from prior profitable years’ tax refunds. With proper understanding of this legislation, you can help the balance sheet of your company during difficult economic times. |
