Under Title III of the ADA, any private entity that owns, leases, leases to, or operates a place of public accommodation has four specific requirements:
1. Remove barriers to make your goods and services available to and useable by people with disabilities, to the extent that it is readily achievable to do so- in other words, to the extent that needed changes can be accomplished without much difficulty or expense.
2. Provide auxiliary aids and services so that people with sensory or cognitive disabilities have access to effective means of communication, unless doing so would fundamentally alter your business’ operation or result in undue burdens.
3. Modify any policies, practices, or procedures that may be discriminatory or have a discriminatory effect, unless doing so would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, facilities, or accommodation of your business.
4. Ensure that there are no unnecessary eligibility criteria that tend to screen out or segregate individuals with disabilities or limit their full and equal enjoyment of you business.
Available tax incentives
Tax deductions, established under Section 190 of the Internal Revenue Code, of a maximum of $15000 per year allow businesses of any size to deduct the costs for removal of architectural or transportation barriers. For more details…(Link to Fact Sheet 4)
Small businesses with eligible access expenditures incurred to comply with applicable requirements under the ADA may also qualify for the Disabled Access Credit for 50% of up to $10000 in total expenditures.
