Taxes & Advertising Compliance<\/h2>\n

Taxes on Digital Ads and the Use of Personal Data:<\/strong> The Alliance works to exempt news media entities from taxes on digital advertising or the use of personal data. These revenue lines are appealing to lawmakers as levies on platforms, but they have a disproportionate impact on a key source of publishing revenue and impose severe pass-through costs on local businesses and nonprofits who advertise with news publishers. As a model bill, Maryland\u2019s digital ad tax explicitly exempts news media entities.<\/p>\n

Advertising Deductibility:<\/strong> Advertising is vital to the economic stability of the news and magazine media industry and a critical resource in support of high-quality, original journalism. The consequences of changing the current treatment of advertising would ripple through the entire economy from media companies, advertisers, and their agencies to the multitude of industries that depend on advertising to move their products and services. Through our leadership with The Ad Coalition, the Alliance works to ensure lawmakers recognize the impact of advertising on job and economic growth, which depends on the continued ability to deduct advertising costs as \u201cordinary and necessary\u201d business expenses.<\/p>\n

Advertising Compliance:<\/strong> The Alliance actively monitors compliance obligations in advertising across a broad array of issues. From Federal Trade Commission rulemaking to state legislation, the Alliance advocates for preserved access to a key source of revenue that sustains the work of publishers.<\/p>\n
