SAG-AFTRA has once again extended its tax relief program to members experiencing financial distress associated with Covid-19.
The union started offering Covid-19 tax breaks in March 2020 in the early days of the pandemic. Still, it encourages members who can pay to do so on time “to allow critical union services such as waste management and contract negotiation and enforcement to run smoothly.”
The deadline for requesting a tax extension for May 2022 is June 9th.
Approved members will also need to pay half of the current May tax by June 9 and the remaining half by September 1 to maintain good standing for the May 2022 tax period, if advance payments have also not been made or paid. Late payments will not be considered for the May 2022 fiscal period, and the union said it “will not have a negative impact on members’ right to work during this period.”
SAG-AFTRA noted that association membership “will automatically terminate if a member is not in good standing for 18 months due to non-payment of taxes, accruals, fines or administrative fees.” However, during the May 2022 tax period, the Covid-19 tax extension program allows you to pay the minimum amount in two installments (June 9 and September 1) and delay the completion until November 2022 if necessary. Delays. The fee must be received by 9 June and 12 September at the latest. Recovery after termination requires payment of the application fee and recovery fee not exceeding the initial full and continuing fee.
Members considering running for the office of SAG-AFTRA in the upcoming election must meet the appropriate May tax period requirements to be nominated as a national officer, member of the national councilor or local councilor to ensure payment of May 2022 taxes. Join the union by 9 June at the latest or request an extension of your Covid-19 tax by 9 June at the latest and make sure your first installment is accepted after that date.
Failure to accept May tax payment and timely tax extension application not complying with the expansion plan will affect voting rights. Failure to pay taxes under the program will also affect a member’s ability to vote, stand as a candidate and participate in a referendum.
