Insights Into Tax Reform’s Radical New Game Plan for Tax Exempt (Bloomberg Tax)

02.20.18

The new tax law brought an unpleasant surprise for many tax-exempt organizations by imposing a 21 percent excise tax on compensation in excess of $1 million and on certain ‘‘parachute payments.’’ Organizations, including public universities, state and local government entities, charitable organizations, public utilities, farmers’ cooperatives, and other organizations operated without an expectation of retaining profits may now find themselves subject to either complying with the new compensation limit or paying the tax. While the changes to the compensation limit for companies with publicly traded securities included a transition rule, surprisingly, the addition of this compensation limit to entities—that had not faced this type of hard line limit— did not provide for any transition for existing contracts.

Search Tips:

You may use the wildcard symbol (*) as a root expander.  A search for "anti*" will find not only "anti", but also "anti-trust", "antique", etc.

Entering two terms together in a search field will behave as though an "OR" is being used.  For example, entering "Antique Motorcars" as a Client Name search will find results with either word in the Client Name.

Operators

AND and OR may be used in a search.  Note: they must be capitalized, e.g., "Project AND Finance." 

The + and - sign operators may be used.  The + sign indicates that the term immediately following is required, while the - sign indicates to omit results that contain that term. E.g., "+real -estate" says results must have "real" but not "estate".

To perform an exact phrase search, surround your search phrase with quotation marks.  For example, "Project Finance".

Searches are not case sensitive.
