Payments of OCA membership dues are tax deductible for most members as an ordinary and necessary business expense. Complying with the tax law, OCA estimates that 8% of the dues payment is not deductible as an expense because of OCA’s direct lobbying activities on behalf of its members. Charitable contributions or gifts to OCA are not tax deductible for federal income tax purposes.
