The basis of assessing membership dues in the WCMA, as approved by the Board of Directors and ratified by the membership, is as follows:
The following classifications are to be used to determine the kind of products on which dues are paid.
Contributions to the Wood Component Manufacturers Association are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. However, dues payments are deductible by members as an ordinary and necessary business expense. WCMA estimates that the nondeductible portion of your dues which are allocable to lobbying is less than the minimum making your total dues deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense.
- Dues shall be computed at a rate of $1.00 per $1,000 of annual dimension and wood component shipments. Canadian members convert their Canadian dollar shipments to US dollars and pay in US dollars to equalize the exchange rate difference.
- For annual shipments below $1,000,000, minimum dues shall be $1,000 per year.
- For annual shipments above $3,000,000, maximum dues shall be $3,000 per year.
The following classifications are to be used to determine the kind of products on which dues are paid.
