Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "Tax Translator" offers much needed advice and guidance on tax compliance for institutions of higher learning College and university officials often are unaware of their institutions' tax obligations. Especially for institutions without designated tax compliance officers, the consequences of such ignorance can devastating. Based on its author's decades of experiences as a tax manager at three universities, this handbook was written for all university staff involved with tax compliance—from the account clerk in the Accounts Payable Department, up through vice presidents, controllers, treasurers and directors. Steve Hoffman explains the core principles and practices that inform current tax policy and develops a framework for building a system for effective tax compliance, reporting and filing. Satisfies the urgent demand for timely, authoritative advice and guidance on a area of increasing concern for colleges and universities Sheds new light on the impact of current tax obligations for both four-year and community colleges, which are often left out of the discussion The Federal Government has recently stepped up its enforcement of tax law compliance for colleges and universities

Book excerpt: The vast bulk of economic activity in the United States is taxed by the federal government. There are exceptions carved out, primarily for charitable operations, including universities. The rationale is that these organizations serve the public good and should not be reduced in magnitude by the deleterious effects of taxes. Universities in particular get a wide range of tax breaks. Contributions to universities are tax deductible. Earnings from endowments in the form of capital gains, dividends, rents, royalties, or interest are non-taxable. Property owned by universities is rarely taxed at the local or state level, and university fees and often even commercial activities are frequently not subject to sales taxes. Customers of universities typically get tax breaks, such as tuition tax credits, or are allowed to create tax sheltered savings accounts to help pay for college. Should federal tax policy towards universities be reviewed and changed? This study is not a comprehensive look at all the issues raised above, but discusses some of the major ones. Special attention is placed on the tax treatment of university endowments, and what are reasonable rules that should be enacted, if any, to assure that monies are expended in a manner consistent with the granting of tax-exempt status. Lesser attention is placed on other issues, such as the use of tuition tax credits.

There are exceptions carved out, primarily for charitable operations, including universities. The rationale is that these organizations serve the public good and should not be reduced in magnitude by the deleterious effects of taxes. Universities in particular get a wide range of tax breaks. Contributions to universities are tax deductible. Earnings from endowments in the form of capital gains, dividends, rents, royalties, or interest are non-taxable. Property owned by universities is rarely taxed at the local or state level, and university fees and often even commercial activities are frequently not subject to sales taxes. Customers of universities typically get tax breaks, such as tuition tax credits, or are allowed to create tax sheltered savings accounts to help pay for college. As university costs have risen, both to student consumers and to society as a whole, people have started to question historic assumptions about university activities. People are asking questions like: Should a person who donates or "buys" a stadium skybox get a tax break for this non-academic expenditure? Should universities be allowed to amass huge endowments from tax free gifts and investment income and then spend only small amounts from the fund, allowing the endowment to rapidly accrue in a tax free fashion? When universities use tax-exempt endowment funds or even annual gifts in a matter different than directed by the donor, should universities be subject to severe criminal or civil penalties for committing fraud? Should federal tax policy towards universities be reviewed and changed? This study focuses on the tax treatment of university endowments, and what are reasonable rules that should be enacted, if any, to assure that monies are expended in a manner consistent with the granting of tax-exempt status. (Contains 4 figures, 3 tables, and 24 notes.).
Book Synopsis Federal Tax Policy and Charitable Giving by : Charles T. Clotfelter
Download or read book Federal Tax Policy and Charitable Giving written by Charles T. Clotfelter and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is distinctive among Western countries in its reliance on nonprofit institutions to perform major social functions. This reliance is rooted in American history and is fostered by federal tax provisions for charitable giving. In this study, Charles T. Clotfelter demonstrates that changes in tax policy—effected through legislation or inflation—can have a significant impact on the level and composition of giving. Clotfelter focuses on empirical analysis of the effects of tax policy on charitable giving in four major areas: individual contributions, volunteering, corporate giving, and charitable bequests. For each area, discussions of economic theory and relevant tax law precede a review of the data and methodology used in econometric studies of charitable giving. In addition, new econometric analyses are presented, as well as empirical data on the effect of taxes on foundations. While taxes are not the most important determinant of contributions, the results of the analyses presented here suggest that charitable deductions, as well as tax rates and other aspects of the tax system, are significant factors in determining the size and distribution of charitable giving. This work is a model for policy-oriented research efforts, but it also supplies a major (and very timely) addition to the evidence that must inform future proposals for tax reform.
Book Synopsis College and University Endowments by : Jeanette O'Brien
Download or read book College and University Endowments written by Jeanette O'Brien and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and universities maintain endowments to directly support their activities as institutions of higher education. Endowments are typically investment funds, but may also consist of cash or property. Current tax law benefits endowments and the accumulation of endowment assets. Specifically, endowment fund earnings are exempt from federal income tax. Additionally, taxpayers making contributions to college and university endowment funds may be able to deduct the value of their contribution from income subject to tax. The purpose of this book is to provide background information on college and university endowments, and discuss various options for changing their tax treatment.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Tax Policy by : Alan J. Auerbach
Download or read book The Economics of Tax Policy written by Alan J. Auerbach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-15 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debates about the what, who, and how of tax policy are at the core of politics, policy, and economics. The Economics of Tax Policy provides a straightforward overview of recent research in the economics of taxation. Tax policies generate considerable debate among the public, policymakers, and scholars. These disputes have grown more heated in the United States as the incomes of the wealthiest 1 percent and the rest of the population continue to diverge. This important volume enhances understanding of the implications of taxation on behavior and social outcomes by having leading scholars evaluate key topics in tax policy. These include how changes to the individual income tax affect long-term economic growth; the challenges of tax administration, compliance, and enforcement; and environmental taxation and its effects on tax revenue, pollution emissions, economic efficiency, and income distribution. Also explored are tax expenditures, which are subsidy programs in the form of tax deductions, exclusions, credits, or favorable rates; how college attendance is influenced by tax credits and deductions for tuition and fees, tax-advantaged college savings plans, and student loan interest deductions; and how tax policy toward low-income families takes a number of forms with different distributional effects. Among the most contentious issues explored are influences of capital gains and estate taxation on the long term concentration of wealth; the interaction of tax policy and retirement savings and how policy can "nudge" improved planning for retirement; and how the reform of corporate and business taxation is central to current tax policy debates in the United States. By providing overviews of recent advances in thinking about how taxes relate to behavior and social goals, The Economics of Tax Policy helps inform the debate.
