Membership Dues
Active and associate members may elect to pay dues in full or on a quarterly basis with one-fourth of the total dues becoming due and payable by April 1, July 1, October 1, and January 1. Due is based on an average of tonnage for the last three years. The tonnage reported by member companies for the purpose of dues computation should include reinforced concrete pipe, non-reinforced concrete pipe and box sections produced for storm sewers, culverts, sanitary sewers, utility and pedestrian tunnels. Round, elliptical, arch and rectangular sections should be included. Low head pressure pipe, jacking pipe, specials, i.e. elbows, bends, reducers, etc. should be included. The aforementioned products should be included in the annual tonnage report of a member company irrespective of the location of the manufacturing facility or if concrete pipe is produced at this site. NOTE: Contributions or gifts to the ACPA are not deductible as charitable contributions for federal income tax purposes. However, payments of membership dues are deductible under Section 162 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code as ordinary and necessary trade or business expense subject to restrictions imposed as a result of Association lobbying activities. ACPA estimates that the nondeductible portion of your dues allocable to lobbying is 8%.
