Why the OAB is Financially a Valuable Resource

Since 1990, all broadcasters have benefitted from the “Manufacturers Exemption on Sales Tax” for items used to produce their signals. This includes all capital equipment in your transmission chain, and especially the electricity your transmitter(s) uses. Most of you are taking advantage of the equipment exemption of sales tax, but more of you must also use the exemption for the electricity costs which are a monthly expense. Email Nancy Struby to learn more about how to apply for the exemption and how to get the electricity component activated.
