Help IEC Draft Comments on Apprenticeship Rule |
The Department of Labor is proposing to revamp the Registered Apprenticeship system that could threaten IEC’s program. Your feedback is needed to help IEC National craft comments pushing back on the proposed rule. To assist with this, IEC National has created a document that addresses areas it believes to be especially problematic and needs insight on how these provisions could impact your company or chapter. |
House Passes IEC-Supported Tax Bill |
Late last month Congress passed tax legislation that included tax provisions of importance to the construction industry. The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act (H.R. 7024) would: - Permit the writing off research and development expenses in the year they are incurred, as opposed to over a five-year period,
- Reinstates the complete expensing for new and used business equipment that allows for the full deduction of those costs in the year the equipment is placed in service.
- Simplifies tax preparation by increasing the threshold at which businesses must issue certain informational tax returns (1099’s) to independent contractors, from $600 to $1000.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where the timing of a vote is unclear. Visit the IEC Action Center and urge your senators to support this legislation. |
