How Does the New Transportation Benefits Tax Impact Nonprofits?
To the dismay of nonprofits across the country, costs incurred in providing certain commuting and parking benefits to employees now result in a tax payable by the charity or other tax-exempt organization. The tax is framed as a deemed “unrelated business income tax” (or “UBIT”), and the costs that trigger this tax are treated as deemed “unrelated business taxable income” (or “UBTI”). Treatment of these costs as deemed UBTI affects how the taxes are calculated, and what options an organization may have for avoiding or minimizing the tax.

When it comes to achieving retirement goals, what are some working Americans and their employers doing right? Finding answers to this question has never been more urgent as life expectancy increases. In this webinar, we identify specific employee actions — “habits of success” — that correlate with significantly higher projected lifetime income when working years end. Moreover, employers can foster these behaviors through various plan features, tools, and access to professional advice. Find out how the MA 401(k) CORE Plan, a retirement plan built for nonprofits, can help. This webinar is hosted by the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network and is presented by
