President’s Message Beau Daffer, HBAL President

Well, we actually had a spring this year, but summer is here and came in HOT! We had a beautiful day for the HBAL Golf Tournament. We had 224 golfers participate and raised over $11,000 for the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success whether you helped grill, sponsored a hole or particpated on a team.

Speaking of the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation, the Foundation board approved sending $10,000 to Omaha Rapid Response after the Arbor Day storms. Omaha Rapid Response will use the funds to support areas in and around Omaha affected by the tornadoes and other natural disasters. It is great to be able to help support our community.

Contracts are now available for the Fall Parade of Homes. Participation in the Spring Parade was great and traffic at the entries overall was high. Let's do the same this fall. The deadline for advertising and entering a home in the Parade is July 26.

I will leave you with some words of encouragement: "Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold."

EPIC Facts & Fiction: The Truth about the EPIC Consumption Tax Proposals

EPIC Facts & Fiction:

The Truth about the EPIC Consumption Tax Proposals Fact: Eliminates all Nebraska property,

Tax on insurance premiums because insurance premiums are subject to a premium tax, which is an excise tax.

Fiction: Consumption Tax rate on all

• This is a statement made by proponents, but not guaranteed. The current premium tax is not considered an excise tax.

income, inheritance, and corporate taxes, and replaces them with a “consumption tax.” services and new goods set at a rate of 7.5%.

• There is no guarantee that the rate will be 7.5%. It is more likely that the actual rate will be two or three times that high.

• Counties, Cities, Schools and other political subdivisions will also have the ability to institute a separate tax.

Fact: There will be no taxes on groceries.

• Nebraskans will also pay the tax on deductibles and any out of pocket costs. All medical costs not covered by insurance will be subject to the tax.

Medicaid and Medicare services may be subject to the tax because those payers do not pay a premium tax.

• However, this is only true if both ballot measures pass.

Fiction: No taxes on business-to-

Fiction: Eliminates double taxation.

• This is contrary to the proposed Constitutional Language that states “the State of Nebraska shall impose a retail consumption tax or an excise tax on all new goods and services.”

• There are numerous goods and services that will have both a consumption tax and an excise tax.

Fiction: Imposes a Consumption Tax only on services and new goods.

• This would only be true if set in the Constitution. The Legislature gets to decide what will be taxed and there is no guarantee as to what will or won’t be taxed.

• Either way, the price of new homes and new vehicles would likely rise by over 20% eliminating the ability of many Nebraskans to purchase them.

• The cost of many necessities will drastically increase including diapers, over-the-counter medications, auto repairs and rent.

Fiction: There will be no Consumption 8  Lincoln Business Builder

business transactions.

• There is no guarantee or definition of what constitutes a business-to-business transaction. If all new goods and services will be taxed without exception that includes business purchases and purchases by entities that have historically been tax exempt (Churches, non-profits and governmental entities)

Fiction: The Consumption Tax is fair to all Nebraskans.

• The tax is regressive on its face and will harm small businesses, those with lower incomes, young families and seniors.

Fact: There are no special tax exceptions for Government agencies and non-profits.

EPIC Facts & Fiction: The Truth about the EPIC Consumption Tax Proposals

EPIC Facts & Fiction:

The Truth about the EPIC Consumption Tax Proposals • How does Nebraska expect to tax the federal government? Proponents can’t explain.

• If we tax State government and political subdivisions in Nebraska, how will they raise the funds to pay the tax?

• Will non-profits be able to survive if they are required to pay the tax? Will contributions or grants that generally fund such institutions increase enough to cover the cost?

Fact: The EPIC Option would be achieved in two steps

• Step 1: Vote of the people to amend the Nebraska State Constitution on the November 2024 ballot.

- Ballot Language: “…No governmental entity in the state of Nebraska may impose taxes other than retail consumption taxes or excise taxes.”

- Ballot Language: “The State of Nebraska shall impose a retail consumption tax or an excise tax on all new goods and services. There shall be no exemption from such sales taxes, except for grocery items purchased for off premises consumption.”

- Fact: Once voted into the Nebraska State Constitution, these amendments can only be changed by another vote of the people and cannot be changed by the Legislature. ◊ This should scare everyone! We currently have nothing in place to facilitate the implementation of this change.

• Step 2: Legislative vote to adopt implementation legislation.

- Proponents claim that the Legislature will adopt LB 79 (AM314) to implement the EPIC Consumption Tax. If that is true, it would have to be done in the 2024 Legislative Session which will end more than six months before the election.

- If it doesn’t work, Nebraskans will be left holding the bag. Lawmakers who championed this change will no longer be in office and have stated that it’s “not their problem.”

Fiction: The EPIC plan protects local control

• Local control will be eliminated. All tax revenue will go to the State Treasurer in Lincoln. The Legislature will make all budget decisions from the State to your local school and fire district.

FACT: The EPIC Option Consumption

Tax Proposal is an EPICALLY BAD Idea for Nebraska!

• No other state has a consumption tax.

• Other countries that use a consumption tax (called a value added tax or VAT) have an average rate of 22% and they also collect other taxes, including income and dividend taxes.

• If we are going to change the Nebraska Constitution, we should only do so with a clear path forward, not something that dumps a super sales tax in the lap of our future legislators.

Remodelers Council

Remodelers Council Picnic in the Park(ing Lot) June 12, 2024

Publication of the Remodelers Council of Lincoln July 2024 • Vol. 27, No. 7

Summer sure hit hard with the heat at the end of June.

If your company does exterior work, it is important to remind your team to stay hydrated.

Thankfully, our bodies were created Jason Willet to adapt to the Remodelers Council weather conditions, Chairperson but we still need to drink plenty of water days before we need it. Once you get behind in hydration, it is very difficult to catch up.

We had a fun time at the annual Remodelers Council picnic in June. It was a great opportunity to be able to sit, talk and learn from each other. The weather was hot, but that didn't stop us from playing a couple rounds of cornhole and putt putt.

We do not have a meeting in July but remember to put the Remodelers Council Golf Tournament on you calendar for August 16. Come out and support the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation while enjoying a round of golf. Our next regular meeting will be on Wednesdsay, August 28. I hope to see you there!

22  Lincoln Business Builder

The Remodelers Council held their annual picnic at the HBAL office this year.

Originally planned to take place outside, we opted to move lunch and the yard games inside so we didn't have deal with the wind and high temps.
