Unrelated Business Taxable Income and Exceptions

Exceptions to the Unrelated Business Income Tax for Non-Profit Organizations

Contact a Law Firm with Experience and Specialized Knowledge

Although tax exempt, a non-profit organization still may be liable for tax on
unrelated business income. Tax-exempt organizations are not exempt from certain taxes if they engage in a trade or business which is (1) regularly carried on and (2) unrelated to the exempt purpose of the organization.
