Action Needed: State poised to increase taxes on small business!

Action Needed: State poised to increase taxes on small business!

May 21, 2019

The Ohio Senate is considering changing a law that would significantly increase taxes on small business owners. It's imperative that your Ohio Senator hears from you TODAY -- conveying a simple message that this tax hike will hurt your real estate practice.

Your Ohio REALTORS® has launched a "Call for Action" -- providing you with an easy way to send a prepared message to your Senator. Simply CLICK HERE to protect your business!  

Originally proposed by the Ohio House of Representatives, the Senate is now considering a budget bill that includes a sharp tax increase on pass-through entities earning more than $100,000 of business income. This means all REALTORS® who are sole proprietors and generate more than $100,000 in business income will see their taxes go up -- a change that will impact thousands of Ohio REALTORS®.

Act Now to OPPOSE tax increases on Ohio REALTORS®!

REALTORS® use this tax savings to purchase signs, marketing and advertising materials, hire staff, pay for gas and car maintenance, and other important job-creating, tax-generating activities. If the Ohio Senate agrees with the change passed in the Ohio House, investing in your business will be more difficult. Your Ohio REALTORS® strongly opposes this change and is seeking a full reinstatement of the current tax language.

CLICK HERE to ensure the Ohio REALTOR® voice is heard! (Be sure to REVIEW and SEND your message otherwise your action will not be complete.)
