The World
Floor Covering Association (WFCA) is asking flooring industry professionals to
contact their local Congressional representatives in support of a proposed tax
credit plan aimed at stimulating home improvement item spending.
The request comes after The WFCA joined a coalition (American Home Furnishings and Building Products Coalition,
which includes eight
other home furnishings and building products groups such as the Carpet and Rug
Institute), which is creating a proposal designed to help jumpstart the
industry.
The plan proposes temporary refundable consumer tax credits
and retailer/distributor/contractor tax credits. Details of the coalition and
its progress will be forthcoming by the WFCA.
For a list of key Senate and House
leaders involved in deciding the proposal, as well as members of the Senate
Finance Committee and House Ways and Means Committee, clickhere.

The
WFCA is also providing a suggested e-mail template for contacting
representatives. It can be found
