Unrelated Business Income in the Higher Ed Landscape
Date: Thursday, November 2, 2023 from 1:10 – 2:00 PM
Higher education institutions are increasingly diversifying their revenue sources in order to keep tuition rates competitive. However, they must consider modifications and exclusions that determine whether revenue is treated as taxable unrelated business income (“UBTI”). Through proper planning, institutions may be able to anticipate and mitigate the impact of UBTI on their bottom line and exempt status. In this session, we will discuss common sources of UBTI for higher education institutions as well as opportunities to reduce or eliminate UBTI through proper planning or structural considerations.
