Dues Payment Terms and Conditions 

Dues Rates  

• Dues rates are subject to change each year and are approved by the WSCPA Board of Directors. 
• Members enrolled in auto-renewal will be notified of the new dues rate between 25 and 30 days prior to being charged. 
• Your membership dues are generally deductible as an ordinary and necessary business expense under Section 162 of the Internal Revenue Code. It's important to note, however, that due to our lobbying activities on behalf of our members, a portion of your dues may not be deductible as a business expense. Tax laws and regulations are subject to change, and so might the deductible percentage of your dues. Click here for the most current information.

Annual Payment  

• Member agrees to pay their billed dues amount in one payment. 
• If opted in to auto-renewal, member agrees to automatically be charged for the following membership year’s annual dues on June 1 (or the Monday following June 1, when June 1 is on a weekend). 
• Members enrolled in auto-renewal will be notified between 25 and 30 days prior to June 1 that their annual dues will be charged to their account on June 1 alerting them to their upcoming renewal date. This notification will also include the last four digits of the credit or debit card we have on file for you, providing transparency and allowing you to verify your payment method. If your credit card will have expired by June 1, you will receive a reminder via email on April 24 to update your card.  

Credit Cards  

• All credit card information is encrypted, and only the last 4 digits of the card will be visible once entered into our site. 
• WSCPA reserves the right to terminate membership for the non-payment of membership dues. The member is responsible for updating their payment information in the event their card is declined or expired. 

Changes/Cancellations  

• WSCPA’s membership year runs from June 1 to May 31.  
• Should you need to update your payment information, opt out of auto-renewal, or have any questions about the process, you can visit your MyWSCPA membership portal or reach out to our membership team at memberservices@wscpa.org 
• Members enrolled in auto-renewal, who would like to opt out of auto-renewal or cancel their membership, must make the update on their account page or submit their request to memberservices@wscpa.org 7 days prior to the renewal date. 

Refunds 

• Membership dues are non-refundable. 

Firm Billing Management 

For members whose dues are facilitated through their firm, our Firm Pays Dues program simplifies the renewal process, fostering a seamless membership experience for both the firm and its staff.  

• Roster Confirmation: Each spring, we will send the designated Firm Administrator a current roster of all members associated with the firm. This ensures the accuracy of our records and allows firms to make any necessary updates, such as adding new members or removing those who have left the firm.  
• Single Invoice: Once the roster has been confirmed and updated, the firm will receive a single invoice covering the renewal dues for all listed members. This consolidated approach streamlines the payment process, making it easier for firms to maintain active memberships for their staff without the hassle of managing individual renewals.  

For more details on the Firm Pays Dues program or assistance with the roster confirmation and invoicing process, please reach out to our Member Services team. We’re here to ensure that managing your firm’s memberships is as straightforward and efficient as possible.
