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.
