UBI, UBTI, and UBIT: Understanding the Unrelated Business Income Tax
Western CPE
In 1950, Congress created the unrelated business income tax (UBIT) to deter nonprofits from gaining advantages over taxable entities that conduct similar activities. The UBIT is often misinterpreted by organizations and their tax professionals. While most organizations have unrelated business income (UBI), not all UBI is considered unrelated business taxable income (UBTI). Having worked with thousands of nonprofit clients throughout the world, Stu Sobel shares his experiences and wisdom to make this difficult area of tax law less threatening and confusing.
