Very recently, a new group calling itself the “Alliance for Competitive Taxation (ACT)” was formed as a coalition of 42 politically influential companies to advocate for bipartisan comprehensive tax reform.  You can read the press release here.  Credit union tax status continues to remain a top priority and it's more important than ever to protect credit unions as this reform is considered.   

As a reminder, campaign tools are always available for credit unions on CUNA's Tax Advocacy Toolkit.
