Urge Your Federal Legislators to Repeal 3% Withholding Law

Please contact your representatives in Congress and ask them to support legislation to repeal the 3% withholding law!

The 3% withholding tax will require public owners to withhold 3% of every payment to federal state and local contractors. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations on the implementation of the 3% withholding law which delayed the implementation date from 1/1/2012 to 1/1/2013. The delay was due to the complexity of implementing this complicated withholding scheme.

While the delay in implementation was helpful the law needs to be permanently repealed. Legislation to do so is supported by more than one-third of all U.S. House members and one-fourth of Senators.

Please contact your Senators and Representative and urge them to support repeal of the 3% withholding law by cosponsoring one of the repeal bills.
