Corzine Signals Intent to Support Rollback for Tax-Exempt Clubs Only
Advocacy Action Needed!
Neither New Jersey Assembly Bill 4065 nor Senate Bill 2269 was voted on this week, although a vote by the Assembly is possible late next week. Both bills would exempt all health clubs, regardless of the entity organizing the club or its profit status, from the 7% sales and use tax.
While these bills are a positive development for New Jersey clubs, Governor Corzine is putting pressure on legislators to exempt only non-profit health clubs from the sales tax.
It is essential that all New Jersey fitness professionals contact Governor Corzine and your legislators NOW to support a sales tax exemption on all health clubs, not just non-profits. A major showing of support is needed! Even if you have written before, spend just a few minutes to help make New Jersey a healthier state by clicking the link below.
If you have any questions please contact Amy Bantham, IHRSA Government Relations Manager, at aeb@ihrsa.org or (800) 228-4772. For more information on legal and legislative issues in New Jersey, log on to www.ihrsa.org/newjersey.
