Chamber Members — Encourage Your Employees to Become Chamber Ambassadors

It is hard to believe that July is already upon us. It is a time when we enjoy the summer heat and families take memorable summer vacations before the children return to school. It is a time when we honor and celebrate the birth of our nation…the United States of America.

It is also a time to recognize our 2014 Chamber Ambassadors and their contributions in supporting The Chamber. As I mentioned in the May addition of the Ambassador Spotlight, our Ambassadors are the most dedicated chamber members who continue to support the mission, goals, and efforts of The Chamber.

Our ambassadors have participated in chamber activities with incredible enthusiasm and vitality.

They have played a vital role in welcoming our new Chamber members. Many members have expressed their appreciation for the overwhelming ambassador support, demonstrated by their presence at many ribbon cutting ceremonies, mixers, and other chamber events.

Ambassadors know how to maximize their chamber membership. They know their participation and efforts

have paid dividends in business opportunities as well as relationships.

I applaud our chamber businesses who support The Chamber Ambassador program. I encourage other chamber members to take advantage of this extraordinary networking group. Your employees are your most important asset. They are committed to your success.

They are the drivers that can advance your business.

Why not encourage them to participate in the most engaging chamber program and see where they can take your business?

I want to thank all of the 2014 Chamber Ambassadors who have helped make this year a success. Your invested devotion and efforts have not gone unnoticed. Together, we will continue to make a difference in 2014. Again, I am proud to serve as your Chairman.

Mark Tulman is a business development representative for Nevada Association of Employers. He is the 2014 Chairman of The Chamber’s Ambassador program.

Information about the

Margin Tax Initiative

NEVADA 2014 STATEWIDE BALLOT INITIATIVE

The Margin Tax Initiative is a complex tax increase proposal that will appear on Nevada’s 2014 statewide general election ballot.

The proposed initiative would impose a huge new tax on both Nevada’s major employers and on thousands of small businesses throughout Nevada.

It’s so poorly written that it would force many small businesses that are losing money to pay higher taxes, and it does nothing to guarantee that the Margin Tax revenues would actually be used to improve Nevada’s educational system.

As a result, the Margin Tax Initiative would cause our state to lose many existing businesses and jobs, and make it harder to attract new ones – without ensuring better schools for our children.

The Margin Tax Initiative is a giant tax increase that would hurt Nevada’s large employers and thousands of small businesses Would apply to both major employers and small businesses.

Under the Margin Tax Initiative, every business with total GROSS revenues exceeding $1 million per year would be subject to a new 2% Margin Tax – regardless of whether any of that revenue is actual profit.

“This tax is not based on the ability to pay. As a result many small businesses will find their profits wiped out. For any businesses hurt by this economy that have been struggling to keep their doors open, this tax may prove to be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.”

— Nevada Taxpayers Association

Overall, it would dump a massive $750 million increase on the costs of doing business for Nevada employers. That would severely damage our state’s already struggling economy and job market.

Deeply flawed and unfair tax system.

Proponents claim that the $1 million gross revenues threshold protects small businesses. But in reality, the Margin Tax Initiative would hurt thousands of small businesses in Nevada that have total annual gross revenues of over $1 million but also have high overhead and very small profit margins – such as family-owned restaurants, medical clinics, daycare centers, repair shops, veterinarians, janitorial services, ranches, and farms.

It would only allow businesses to deduct some of their actual costs from the revenues subject to the tax. For example, they could deduct their costs of goods or their payroll costs, but not both.

Another flaw in the measure is that it would create a “fiscal cliff.” A business making one penny less than $1 million in gross revenues would pay no tax. A business that grossed one penny more than $1 million would pay the 2% Margin Tax based on the entire million. These small businesses would even have to pay the tax in years they make NO profit. The extra burden of the proposed Margin Tax would force these companies to cut jobs, and could even put many of them out of business.

Costly state bureaucracy and lawsuits.

The Margin Tax Initiative contains 84 sections of complicated legal and technical language that would create a logistical and legal nightmare for businesses to navigate.

The initiative language doesn’t even match federal tax compliance definitions, so businesses would now be required to maintain two sets of books, one for federal law and one for the new Margin Tax. It would cost millions of taxpayer dollars for the state government to interpret and implement the Margin Tax Initiative, and it would tie the state up in lawsuits for years due to the legal complexities and drafting ambiguities.

CHAMBER CONNECTION | JULY 2014

The Margin Tax Initiative: Deeply flawed and very costly The Margin Tax Initiative has NO accountability or oversight provisions to make sure money goes to the classroom

The Margin Tax Initiative would make Nevada’s business taxes among the highest in the US Imposing the initiative’s tax on top of the state’s existing Modified Business Tax would create the equivalent of an almost 15% state corporate income tax – nearly twice as high as the corporate income tax rate in California.

No guarantee of more money for education.

We all want to help our schools, but the Margin Tax Initiative does nothing to guarantee more money for education.

In fact, for businesses, the Margin Tax Initiative would make Nevada one of the highest taxed states in which to operate. This would severely damage our state’s struggling economy, cause the loss of thousands of existing jobs and make it nearly impossible to attract new businesses and jobs to Nevada.

Technically, the dollars generated from the measure would be put into the “Distributive School Account,” which is used to fund K-12 education. However, under the initiative, the state legislature could simultaneously take money from the regular budget away from education to fund other things.

The District Court held in October 2012 that “the initiative does not prevent the Legislature from supplanting existing educational funds with the margin tax.”

No plan of action or accountability.

NEVADA (if Margin Tax Initiative passes)

If the Initiative passes, Nevada would have the equivalent of an almost 15% corporate income tax.

(Source: Study by Jeremy Aguero, Applied Analysis, Jan. 2014)

Even if the legislature decides that education should get more money through the Margin Tax, the initiative provides no plans or requirements to ensure that its revenues go to the classroom instead of into the hands of bureaucrats. How and where the new tax money is spent would be left up to elected officials and school administrators, without any oversight, reviews, or accountability.

“The [Margin Tax] would wipe out the profits of some companies, and even struggling, money-losing businesses would have to pay the tax. To inflict such punishment on companies after five years of economic weakness and nation-leading unemployment would be unconscionable.”

— Las Vegas Review - Journal Editorial, June 2013

State government could increase the tax rate – without a vote of the people.

There are no checks and balances in the Margin Tax Initiative. Although the initiative sets the initial tax rate at 2% and sets the threshold for liability at $1 million in gross revenue per year, the legislature would have unlimited authority, after three years, to: increase the tax rate, lower the revenue threshold at which it must be paid, or broaden the tax to apply to even more businesses – without any further vote of the people.

The Margin Tax Initiative would hurt all Nevadans by damaging our economy and increasing consumer costs Would threaten jobs.

Nevada’s unemployment rate is still one of the highest in the nation and the Margin Tax Initiative would only make it worse. Large employers like gaming companies, banks, hospitals, and manufacturing companies would be forced to lay off workers, and many small businesses would be forced to downsize or close altogether. This would damage Nevada’s economy and drive unemployment even higher, hurting every business, employer and family in the state.

Higher consumer costs.

The Margin Tax Initiative would impose a new 2% tax on revenues generated by almost all types of goods and services sold in Nevada, including: food, clothing and other retail store products; gas, electricity and telephone services; prescription medicines sold by pharmacies; and, medical care provided by doctors and hospitals.

Ultimately, the providers of these goods and services would pass on some or all of their tax increase to Nevada consumers.

About the Coalition to Defeat the Margin Tax Initiative A statewide coalition representing thousands of small and large employers, farmers, ranchers and other concerned Nevadans has been formed to mount a campaign urging a NO vote on the Margin Tax Initiative.
