Unrelated
Business Income
Unrelated business income (UBI) is a complex area of tax law that can be challenging for tax-exempt organizations to navigate. UBI is income from a trade or business unrelated to the tax-exempt organization's mission or purpose. This income may be subject to unrelated business income tax (UBIT), a tax on income generated by tax-exempt organizations from unrelated business activities.
At our firm, we have extensive experience in helping tax-exempt organizations evaluate their income sources and determine whether any revenue is subject to UBIT. We carefully review our clients' activities to identify any sources of UBI and assess whether any available exceptions under the tax code apply to exempt the income from UBIT.
