SUMMARY:Pennsylvania Tax Exemptions for Nonprofits – Is Your Charity Prepared to Defend Its Tax Exemption After a Recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court Case?
DESCRIPTION:Explore the meaning of “purely public charity” post-Mesivtah Eitz Chaim of Bobov Inc. v. Pike County Board of Assessment Appeals \n \n\nHear from nonprofit experts about whether the recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court opinion sets a new standard for defining when a nonprofit organization qualifies for sales and property tax exemptions \nFind out whether the application process for tax exempt status will be significantly impacted \nReview Act 55\, the HUP case standard for “purely public charity” and how\, if at all\, the Mesivtah holding has changed things \n\n\nDiscover what the Mesivtah opinion says about the balance between the power of the courts and the legislature\n \n\nConsider whether legislative action could reverse the Court’s holding or weaken the impact of the Mesivtah case \nReview what the court says about who gets to define the meaning of a “purely public charity” \nDebate whether the evaluation of what is a “purely public charity” needs to be more flexible in a fast-changing world \n\n\nConsider the implications for charities that already are tax exempt \n \n\nExplore the possibility that charities will be scrutinized and have their tax-exempt status reversed  \nExamine the likelihood that municipalities will see this decision as the source of new revenue stream from charities  \nLook at proactive steps your clients can take to ensure their tax exempt status \nStrategize on how to apply for tax exempt status for a charitable organization in a way that most effectively ensures a grant of exemption  \nHear a discussion on ways to defend against PILOTs (payment in lieu of taxes) and claims of unfair competition by for-profits  \nDiscuss ways to demonstrate that your charity’s work “relieves government burden”\n\nFaculty\n \n\nJoseph M.
