Will someone jump on my case if I cry, "Tyranny!"? It's not tyranny just enforcing the rules, and the same rules exist in the UK and elsewhere too. Organisations with a political objective can not claim for tax exemption. This in Britain has caused problems for charities I've been involved in. The solution is to have seperate charitable and political organisations; even if the members are the same. Here is the reasoning as given by the IRS Exemption Requirements - Section 501©(3) Organizations To be tax-exempt under section 501©(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, an organization must be organized and operated exclusively for exempt purposes set forth in section 501©(3), and none of its earnings may inure to any private shareholder or individual. In addition, it may not be an action organization, i.e., it may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates. Organizations described in section 501©(3) are commonly referred to as charitable organizations. Organizations described in section 501©(3), other than testing for public safety organizations, are eligible to receive tax-deductible contributions in accordance with Code section 170. Section 501©(3) organizations are restricted in how much political and legislative (lobbying) activities they may conduct. For a detailed discussion, see Political and Lobbying Activities. For more information about lobbying activities by charities, see the article Lobbying Issues; for more information about political activities of charities, see the FY-2002 CPE topic Election Year Issues.
