Your support of the BOMA International PAC enables them to pursue their vital effort to protect and enhance our industry in the following ways:
- BOMAPAC is the only voice solely representing multi-tenant office building owners and managers in Washington, DC.
- BOMA has been the lead organization in pressing for a permanent 15 year Leasehold Depreciation schedule with Congress.
- BOMA has been a key leader in promoting tax credits for energy efficiency upgrades to commercial real estate.
- BOMA was one of the key groups who lobbied Congress to renew the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act coverage for commercial property owners, which was recently passed.
- BOMA continues to lobby to retain the so-called carried interest tax obligation on real estate developments as a capital gains tax item rather treating it as ordinary income.
- BOMA International is the only commercial real estate organization that is active and effective in the international building codes writing and adoption process. New codes or amended existing codes can have a huge and long-lasting impact on our industry.
