ASA Webinar Today on the Tax Policy Outlook—Complimentary to Members

Don’t miss the ASA webinar “Federal Tax Policy in Transition: Elections, Expiring Cuts, and What’s Ahead.” It takes place today from 1 to 2 p.m. Eastern time. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which contained significant tax relief for the staffing industry, will expire at the end of this year without congressional action.

Marc Gerson of Miller & Chevalier Chartered will provide insight into the effect of the 2024 elections on the tax legislative agenda and the potential that the expiring TCJA tax relief provisions may be extended. Sponsored by Miller & Chevalier Chartered.

All ASA webinars are free for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.

Urge Washington’s Governor to Veto Sales Tax on Temporary Staffing Services

The Washington state legislature recently passed legislation, ESSB 5814, that would place a 10% sales tax on various industries, including temporary staffing. The bill has been sent to Gov. Bob Ferguson and is awaiting further action. Staffing firms with offices in Washington should send the governor a letter urging him to veto the bill. ASA is providing a sample letter for members to use.
