Webinar Recording: Legal and Tax Compliance for Corporate Grantmakers: Self-Dealing

In this second installment of the Legal and Tax Compliance for Corporate Grantmakers webinar series, viewers will see an in-depth review of the rules against self-dealing, where they come from, and what they involve.

Topics include:

• A technical definition of “disqualified person”
• The law of self-dealing under IRC § 4941
• Payment and allocation of shared expenses
• Expenditures that provide impermissible benefits to the sponsoring company
• Expenditures that provide permissible, incidental, and tenuous benefits to the sponsoring company
