The World is not
Perfect!
• A challenge for administration is how to apply
structured rules to unstructured reality
• Interpretation is always necessary – and
sometimes helpful
• Circumstances affect policy application
• Delegation of authority is not always explicit
• Judgment is required – but not in isolation
• One of the great advantages of the California
State University is that there are 23 others in
exactly the same position – ask!

$346.0 million
Historically, the State has paid General Obligation debt and appropriated
funds to the CSU to pay lease revenue bond debt
Constraints and
Conditions
 General obligation bonds require voter approval
 Last GO bond approved in 2006
 Lease revenue bonds used beginning in 2008/09
to finance CSU capital
 Unlikely that significant additional State GO or
lease revenue bonds will be issued in the near
term
 State bond sales are controlled by the
Department of Finance and the State Treasurer
and all educational segments are considered
together
Non-State Financing
 Systemwide revenue bonds
– Issued pursuant to authority the State University
Revenue Bond Act of 1947
– Bonds totaling $3.1 billion have been issued
 Commercial Paper is also used to provide interim
financing for projects that will eventually be
financed with revenue bonds and to finance
equipment purchases
 Public/Private partnerships can also be used to
finance certain development and utility projects
Non-State Facilities
 Student Housing
 Parking Structures
 Student Unions/Recreation Centers
 Health Centers
 Continuing Education
 Auxiliary Organization Projects
 Public/Private Developments
 Most often owned by the State (e.g. housing,
parking, student unions) but financed on a self
support basis
Constraints and
Conditions
 Policy for Financing & Debt Management
– Trustees Resolution RFIN 03-02-02
– Executive Order 994
 Debt Service Coverage Ratios
 Gross revenues are cross pledged
 Reserves
 Tax exempt or taxable, variable and fixed rate
 Ratings exceed State of California
 IRS restrictions
Systemwide
Revenue Bonds
Public Private Projects
 Governed by Executive Order 747
 Private entities utilize campus land for continued
support of the campus mission
 Projects reviewed by the Land Development
Review Committee
– Campus land is leased to an Auxiliary
Organization
– Auxiliary Organization sub-leases land to a
private entity
– Private entity develops land and provides a lease
payment
Recent Developments
 March 2013 budget trailer bill language proposed
to expand authority to pledge general fund
support appropriation and other revenues for
capital financing and incorporate debt service in
annual operating budget
 UC used expanded authority to refinance state
revenue bonds to free up cash flow allowing
additional financing
 CSU has proposed similar authority for 2014/15
and Trustees have requested $45 million over
three years to fund $750 to $800 million for
capital infrastructure
GO/LR Debt Service
Future Financing
 Expand CSU Systemwide Revenue Bonds with
pledge of fees and appropriations
– Requires revised Board of Trustees policies
– Allocation of debt capacity as a strategic resource
 Use State Public Works Board Lease Revenue
Bonds, State Leased Asset Transfer Revenue
Bonds, and State GO Bonds where available
 Continue to use Public/Private partnerships,
equipment, and energy financing where
appropriate

Why GAAP?
• Campuses maintain their financial records on the
legal basis of accounting required by the State of
California. The legal basis of accounting is not
consistent with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).
• AB (Assembly Bill) 2613 requires audited
financial statements be presented in accordance
with GAAP.

CSU Reporting Package
• Statements
• Three basic financial statements
• Footnotes
• Disclosure for consolidated financial statements
TM1 / YES (Year End System)
7
Financial Statements
Provides audited financial information to users of such information for making economic
decisions; demonstrates accountability and stewardship of management; and
evaluates university performance.
• STATEMENT OF NET POSITION
This statement reports the university’s assets, liabilities and equity (net position) similar to the
traditional balance sheet. Tells story of university’s position at a point in time.
• STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENSES, AND CHANGES IN NET POSITION
This statement is the operating statement of the university. It is used to show how resources are
used.
• STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
This statement classifies cash activities into four categories – operating activities, noncapital
financing activities, capital financing activities, and investing activities. It illustrates the
strength of university’s cash position.
• NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The notes to the financial statements provide additional information that is essential to the full
understanding of the financial statements.
8
YES / TM1
• Year End System (YES) is a separate application using the TM1 tool
to facilitate the systemwide consolidation and issuance of published
audited financial statements.
• GAAP financial statement data is collected, inclusive of footnote
disclosures, in the format agreed upon annually with the external
auditors.
• Data from PSoft GAAP ledger are entered manually by each campus
and the Chancellor’s Office.

Audit Finding Example
BACKGROUND CHECKS
Background checks were not performed on all employees who had physical access to the information
technology services (ITS) data center.
Integrated California State University Administrative Manual (ICSUAM) §8030, Personnel
Information Security, dated April 19, 2010, states that campuses must develop procedures to conduct
background checks on positions involving access to level one information assets as defined in the CSU
Data Classification Standard.
The associate vice president (AVP) for human resources management stated that the failure to perform
background checks was due to oversight and that the existing policy was not consistently followed for
temporary employees.
Failure to screen and perform background checks on personnel who have access to sensitive data
increases the risk of potential mishandling and inappropriate disclosure of sensitive data.
Recommendation 1
We recommend that the campus ensure that background checks are performed on all employees who
have physical access to the ITS data center.
Campus Response
We concur. The campus will ensure that background checks are performed on all employees who
have physical access to the ITS data center. Corrective action on this item is complete.

Mission Statement
We are a consortium of diverse,
entrepreneurial, service-oriented
California State University auxiliary
organizations whose purpose is to
assist in exemplary services, programs,
and facilities that further the educational
mission of each campus.
4
Auxiliary Organizations
What Are They?
• Separately organized legal entities (currently 85) created to
perform services and authorized support functions of
benefit to the campuses
• 501 (c)(3) nonprofit public benefit corporations
• First auxiliary established in 1922 – the Fresno State
College Association

Auxiliary Organizations
Typical Auxiliary Organizations
& Revenue Sources
 Associated Student Body Organization Programs
• Revenues from student body fees
 Student Unions
• Revenues from student union fees
and operations in the facility
 Sponsored Programs, Research & Special Education Projects
• Externally funded grant and contract activity
conducted by faculty and staff
7
Auxiliary Organizations
(Typical Auxiliary Organizations – continued)
 Commercial Services
• Revenue from bookstore sales, food services,
child care centers, and other commercial activities

and/or engage in partnership projects to
develop property
8
Auxiliary Organizations
1. An Auxiliary Organization
Structure
• Authorized under the provisions of the Education Code
(Ed. Code Sections 89006, 89300-304 and 89900 et seq.)
• The Ed Code delegates to the CSU Board of Trustees the authority
to implement more detailed regulations – these are established in
Title 5
• Title 5, in turn, delegates to the Chancellor and campus presidents
authority to establish operational and oversight policies
9
Auxiliary Organizations
(Structure continued)
•May only provide functions designated and approved by the Trustees
of the California State University (CCR, Title 5, Section 42500)
•Must have an Operating Agreement with the CSU defining approved
activities for each auxiliary
•Need a written MOU with the campus to establish scope of operations
and address other contractual issues
10
Auxiliary Organizations
(Structure continued)
•Must be fiscally viable (with adequate reserves)
•Commercial services must be self-supporting
•Advantage: Provides additional operational flexibility and support
to the university

2. A Tax Exempt Organization
Structure
• Authorized under Internal Revenue Code as 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organizations and 509(a)(3) supporting organizations, operated for
exempt purposes as a “public charity” under California and federal
law
• Advantage: Generally exempt from tax on the income and gifts they
receive, and can offer donors charitable tax deductions for their
contributions
13
Auxiliary Organizations
Governance as a Tax Exempt Organization
•Must file IRS Form 990
•Information on mission, activities, financial status, directors, and
operational policies
•Fundraising solicitations must meet federal and state standards
•Nonprofit Integrity Act of 2004
•Operational and financial standards
•UBIT
•Activity unrelated to the entity’s exempt purpose can result in tax liability
on unrelated business income – or, when extensive, loss of tax-exempt
status
14
Auxiliary Organizations
3. A Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation (NPBC)
Structure
• Authorized under California Corporations Code Sections 5110 et seq.
• Articles of Incorporation filed with Secretary of State
• citing the general governance features of the entity
• Bylaws adopted by Board
• to set internal governance structure
15
Auxiliary Organizations
(Structure continued)
•Intended activities restricted to public/charitable purposes – in this case,
supporting the university
•Corporate powers to acquire property, enter into contracts, carry on a business
•Advantage: Entity functions within clear but flexible statutory norms
•Oversight: California Attorney General
16
Auxiliary Organizations
Governance as a NPBC
• Powers and affairs must be exercised by Board or under Board direction
• Institutional control through board appointment
• Each auxiliary governing board must approve amounts and purpose for
expending auxiliary funds
• Includes funds for auxiliary operations as well as amounts and purpose of
expenditures to augment State appropriations
• Board members must review and approve executive compensation
• Review and approve an annual budget
• Nonvoting directors prohibited
17
Auxiliary Organizations
Even though auxiliary organizations may be
organized as corporations, they are first and
foremost auxiliary organizations of the CSU and
must therefore operate pursuant to the specific
statutes and regulations applicable to auxiliary
organizations.

Auxiliary Organizations
What Are They NOT?
Auxiliary Enterprises or Services
• Auxiliary organizations are NOT “auxiliary enterprises” or “auxiliary
services” which are functions or operations that are departments of the
university – not separate legal organizations. Examples are:
•
Housing – Dormitory Revenue Fund
•
Parking Fund
•
Continuing Education Fund (CERF)
•
Student Health Center
20
Auxiliary Organizations
Auxiliary Enterprises or Services (Continued)
• Auxiliary Enterprises are authorized under separate statutory
authority (Ed Code, § 90000 et seq.) and have the following
characteristics:
• Managed by the State and the funds are deposited with
the State
• Generally operated as self-support with fees directly
related to, although not necessarily equal to, the cost of
the facilities, goods or services
• The funds are deposited in separate university Enterprise
or Trust Funds and are governed by State rules (which
can be restrictive)
21
Auxiliary Organizations
How a function is organized determines whether it
is an Auxiliary Organization
or

The purpose of CSU auxiliary organizations is:
• “To provide instructional and service aids not normally furnished by the State
budget;” and
•
•
•
•
•
•
Facilitate essential services and activities
Enhance budgetary flexibility
Shield against liability
Manage risk and exposure
Increase investment opportunities
Purchase and sell real estate
24
Auxiliary Organizations
Auxiliaries can do lots of things
25
Auxiliary Organizations
Authorized Functions of Auxiliary Organizations
(Title 5, Section 42500)
 Student body organizations
 Bookstores, food services, and campus services
 Housing (e.g., faculty and staff for-sale housing)
 Student Unions and Recreation Centers
 Supplementary health services
 Loans, scholarships, grants-in-aids, stipends and related financial assistance
26
Auxiliary Organizations
(Authorized Functions – continued)
•Externally funded projects including research, workshops, conferences and
institutes
•Instructionally-related programs (e.g., radio, athletics, etc.)
•Alumni programs (not alumni associations)
•Gifts, bequests, endowments, trusts
•Public relations, fundraising, fund management and development
•Acquisition, development, sale and transfer of real and personal property,
including financing transactions
27
Auxiliary Organizations
(Authorized Functions – continued)
•Many of these activities can be performed by either the university or an
auxiliary, as long as authorized and with an operating agreement in place
•Most campuses have traditionally provided these functions through auxiliaries
28
Auxiliary Organizations
How Do They Operate?
•No state funds (General Fund appropriations)
•Good private sector business practices (an alternative to governmental
standards and state procedures), which enhance university capabilities
•Flexibility and adaptability make auxiliaries useful to their universities
•Auxiliaries held accountable, but subject to a different standard
•Subject to different laws and regulations – e.g., different Wage & Hour
provisions, different Open Meeting laws, different Records Disclosure
requirements
•Comparability of salary and benefits for similarly classified positions
•“Comparable” does not mean “the same”
29
Auxiliary Organizations
Executive Order 1059
“Utilization of Campus Auxiliary Organizations”
•Campus establishes which of the permissible functions and activities will
operate in its auxiliaries (Operating Agreement, MOU’s, contracts for
service)
•Governing concept in making a decision about proper placement of funds
is Ownership –
30
Auxiliary Organizations
Ownership:
•Authority to sign related contracts
•Risk of business loss
•Legal responsibility and liability exposure
•Fiduciary duty
•Policies that will govern the conduct of the program
•Administrative control over expenditures
31
Auxiliary Organizations
Ownership of an activity is NOT necessarily evidenced by
which entity:
•Pays the employee or has signatory for the program
•Owns the facility where the activity occurs
•Has programmatic (i.e., subject matter) control over
expenditures
It does not matter if university employees, facilities or other
resources are involved in the activity, so long as the state
General Fund is reimbursed per the campus Cost Allocation
Plan
32
Auxiliary Organizations
Executive Order 1000
“Delegation of Fiscal Authority and Delegation”
•Pay for direct costs plus an allocable portion of indirect costs
associated with facilities, goods, and services provided by the
University funded from the General Fund (CSU Operating fund)
•Costs are determined in accordance with a written cost allocation
plan approved annually by the campus CFO
•University can recover costs with cash and/or a documented
exchange of value and in-kind consideration.
•Auxiliary funds can transfer to the University, but University funds
cannot be transferred to the auxiliary
•Auxiliary employees’ time can be donated to the University, but the
cost of University employees must be reimbursed
33
Auxiliary Organizations
Auxiliaries cannot, due to current CSU policy:
•Hold state funds appropriated to CSU through legislative process
•Hold tuition fee revenue
•Hold most other mandatory student fees required for registration
•Own or sponsor instructional programs awarding academic credit
or Continuing Education Units
34
Auxiliary Organizations
A perspective on perspectives
35
Auxiliary Organizations
Advantages of Auxiliary Organization
Activities – A General Perspective
•Operate on a self-support basis
•Diversify resources by generating net revenues from commercial
enterprises, contract and grant management, and gift administration
•Offer “private-sector” efficiency and flexibility
•Offer reduced operating costs and alternative employment
relationships
•Accept entrepreneurial and special program risk exposures not
appropriate for the public entity
36
Auxiliary Organizations
(Advantages of Auxiliary Organization Activities– continued)
•Manage endowment funds outside State investment restrictions (e.g.,
invest in equities to maximize returns)
•Purchase and dispose of property; provide seed money or loans for
development of university projects
•Enter into public/private partnerships that support the university (shift of
project risk and debt issuance)
•Facilitate certain types of financing, and add debt capacity
•Engage in statewide education bond campaigns
•Manage risk exposure
37
Auxiliary Organizations
Current Issues
• What is the role and distinctive value of auxiliaries at the university in the
current environment? Has it changed?
• Changes in Stateside capability (e.g., what can be done in Trust accounts)
• Over the years some rule changes have given CSU greater flexibility.
• However, during the same period university operations have gotten
more complex
• Governance training for board members
38
Auxiliary Organizations
(Current Issues– continued)
•Synergy initiative; search for efficiencies; eliminate duplication of effort
•Achieving the right balance of campus oversight and Board governance
•(Oversight vs. Management)
•Maintain distinction between campus and auxiliary employment
•Public relations exposure: public sees auxiliaries and campuses as one entity
39
Auxiliary Organizations
The Balancing Act
• “Separate But Related”
• Private Entities operating within a public framework
• Separate from the public entity, yet its sole purpose is to serve it
• Board authority vs. Presidential/campus authority
• Transfer of assets requires Board authorization
• President’s veto power over an auxiliary program or expenditure
• The need for public disclosure and transparency, but without being
inaccurately characterized as a “state agency”
• Assume additional risk on behalf of campus – yet can’t expose the deep
pocket

CSU 101 Tax Presentation
CSU 101 January 26-29, 2014
San Francisco
Marc Benadiba
Director, Payroll, Accounts Payable & GAAP
Cal Poly San Luis Obispo
CSU Tax Discussion
• Contrary to popular belief, there are
significant tax issues on CSU
campuses.
• While CSU campuses are not subject
to federal and state income tax, there
are other taxes that do apply.
• Since most of you will not be primarily
focused on tax, this presentation will
provide an overview of the different
tax issues that arise on CSU
campuses.
2
Agenda
 Campus and auxiliary tax status
 Common payment types and related tax issues
 CSU tax responsibilities
– Sales and use tax
– Out of state tax withholdings on service
providers
– Non Resident Alien (NRA) taxes
– Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT)
 University provided housing issues
 Sample frequently asked tax questions
3
Campus Tax Status &
Filing Requirements
 Using my campus as an example, Cal Poly
SLO is exempt from federal and state income
taxes based on Title 26 of the IRS code,
section 115, which states:
– Gross income does not include… income
derived from any public utility or the
exercise of any essential governmental
function.
4
Campus Tax Status &
Filing Requirements
 Cal Poly is not a 501C-3 and as a result is not
required to file a form 990, which is filed by
organizations exempt from income tax under
section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code.
5
Auxiliary Tax Status and
Filing Requirements
 What is an auxiliary organization?
– An auxiliary is a separate legal entity,
usually on your campus, with a separate
taxpayer identification number and legal
status.
– The auxiliary’s primary purpose is to
support the university and is exempt from
federal and state taxes under IRS code
section 501.
– As a result of it’s 501(c) status, auxiliaries
are required to file an Organization Exempt
From Income Tax 990 Form.
6
Why Do I Care About Auxiliary
Organization Tax Obligations?
 Ultimately any underreported or underpaid tax
liability that arises from one of your auxiliaries
is the responsibility of the President of the
University.
7
Can Payments Issued by an
Auxiliary Receive “Special
Treatment”?
 The simple answer is….NO.
 Departments on campus will sometimes
assume that running a transaction thru one of
the auxiliaries instead of the University will
enable an individual to be compensated with
little to no tax implications.
 Employee and independent contractor
payments have the same tax withholding
requirements whether payments are issued by
an auxiliary, or the University.
8
Common Non-Wage or
Salary Payment Types:
 Allowances
 Reimbursements
 Independent Contractor payments
 Honorariums/Stipends
9
Allowances
 An allowance is a payment made to an
individual that compensates them for a certain
type of expenditure they have incurred,
including:
– Housing
– Car
– Cell Phone
– Meals
 Allowances do not require the submission of
receipts by the payee and are recurring
(usually monthly).
10
Allowances
 Housing and car allowances must be
approved in writing by the Chancellor’s Office
in order to be granted, are relatively rare, and
are fully taxable.
 Recommended treatment for allowances is
that they be issued as a separate check from
the Payroll office and then be flat taxed based
on the current federal and state tax rates in
effect.
11
Reimbursements
 Reimbursements can be issued for a variety of
different purposes:
– Travel (including meals and airfare)
– Supplies and equipment purchased
– Moving and relocation
– Conference registration
 Reimbursements are not taxable as long as
they meet the accountable plan rules.
12
Reimbursements
 To be an accountable plan, your University’s
reimbursement or allowance arrangement
must include all three of the following rules.
– Your expenses must have a University
connection - that is, you must have paid or
incurred these expenses while performing
services as an employee of the University
– You must submit receipts
– You must return any excess
reimbursement within a reasonable period
of time
13
Independent Contractor
Payments
 First ensure that the individual can indeed be
considered an independent contractor:
– An independent contactor is someone that
the employer has the right to control or
direct only the result of the work and not
the means and methods of accomplishing
the result.
– Faculty are the only class of employee that
may independently contract with the CSU.
14
CSU Tax
Responsibilities
 Sales and use tax
 Out of state tax withholdings on service
providers
 Non Resident Alien (NRA) taxes
 Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT)
 Excise taxes for fuel
15
Sales and Use Tax
 Sales and Use tax are generally only applied
to purchases of tangible goods (equipment,
furniture, etc.).
 Sales and Use tax are applied at the same
percentage rate
 Vendors (usually) include sales tax on their
invoices for the purchase of tangible goods.
 If the vendor does not charge the University
sales tax for the purchase, then it is the
responsibility of the University to apply use tax
to the purchase. This includes purchases
16
made by Procurement Card.
Sales Taxes on
Labor
 In general, sales taxes are not applied to
stand alone labor charges. However, some
labor charges in relation to taxable sales may
be subject to sales tax. For example;
– Fabrication Labor is considered taxable
 Manufacturing a new piece of machinery
 Sizing and engraving a ring you are
selling
 Cutting metal or lumber being provided
to a customer
 Altering a new suit to better fit the buyer
17
Non Sales Taxable
Types of Labor
• Sales tax generally does not apply to charges for
installation labor. For example; tax would not apply
to your itemized charges for installing a car stereo.
• Sales tax generally does not apply to repair labor.
Repair labor is work performed on a product to
repair or restore it to its intended use. For example:
• Repairing a broken keypad on a cell phone
• Replacing a hard drive in a used computer
• Repairing damaged paint on your car
18
Use Tax Example
 An employee purchases books from Amazon
using the University Procurement (credit) card.
The receipt provided to the employee does not
include sales tax.
– Accounts Payable records and pays the
charges for the books purchased, charges
the department use tax and remits the use
tax to the State Board of Equalization.
Please note:
Purchases made with the Procurement Card
(campus credit card) can generate a
significant amount of use tax that must be
accrued and remitted on a monthly basis.
19
Out of State Tax
Withholdings
 Vendors coming from out of state to provide
services will have 7% in state taxes withheld
from their payment, once their total payment
received exceeds $1,500.
– Exception: If the vendor has a business
office or physical presence in the state of
California, then they do not have income
taxes withheld from their pay.
20
Out of State Tax
Withholdings
 Example 1: Software programmer comes from
Nevada to your campus to provide services and
submits an invoice for $1,400. The programmer has
no physical presence in California:
– Result: no taxes withheld from their payment
 Example 2: Same as above, but submits an invoice
for $1,600:
– Result: 7% is withheld from the entire $1,600
 Example 3: Same as example 1, but submits an
invoice for $1,400 followed by an invoice for $300 in
the same calendar year:
– Result: 7% is withheld from $300 ($300 payment
puts total calendar year payment over $1,500)
21
Non Resident/Resident
Alien
 As defined by the IRS
– An alien is any person who is not a United States
citizen. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
classifies aliens as either nonresidents or
residents. A nonresident alien(NRA) is an alien
who does not meet either the IRS's green card
test (i.e. a lawful permanent resident) or
substantial presence test. These test are
discussed further in IRS Publication 519.
– Resident aliens(RA) are taxed the same as a
U.S. citizen.
– Non resident alien tax withholding and reporting
requirements are complex.
22
Making the NRA vs. RA
Determination
 Each campus has a Non Resident Alien
Taxation (NRAT) specialist that does the
analytical work to make the determination.
 Most campuses are using a third party
software product, either Glacier or Windstar,
to assist with the determination.
 Glacier (used by Cal Poly SLO) provides a
detailed web-based intake process that leads
the Non U.S. Citizen thru a series of
questions to gather information necessary in
order to determine the appropriate immigration
status for tax purposes.
23
Differences Between
an NRA and RA
 Resident aliens receive the same tax treatment as a U.S.
Citizen.
 Payments to a resident alien independent contractor
do not require federal taxes to be deducted.
 Resident alien employees may adjust their payroll tax
withholdings (within IRS guidelines) as they see fit.
 Non resident aliens are taxed differently than U.S. citizens.
 Payments to a non resident alien independent
contractor must have 30% federal and 7% state
taxes withheld and remitted to the IRS and Franchise
Tax Board.
 Non resident alien employees generally must claim
Single and 1 exemption on their W-4 (EAR).
24
Tax Treaties
 There are tax treaties that are in effect between
the U.S. and other countries.
 Under these tax treaties, a campus may grant
the right for the employee or independent
contactor to claim an exemption from taxes
subject to the limitations listed in each treaty
(different for each country).
 Alternatively, the University has the legal right to
not honor the tax treaty at the time of payment
and instead have the payee file a tax return at
year end to claim back any taxes withheld that
they are allowed to have returned based on IRS
guidelines and the appropriate tax treaty.
25
Non Resident Alien
Tax Filing
 In March of each year all NRA tax related
activity is compiled and used to prepare the
form 1042 Annual Withholding Tax Return for
U.S. Source Income of Foreign Persons.
 This tax return will summarize the tax liabilities
accrued vs. tax payments made and reflect
any over or underpayments made for the
calendar year.
26
Unrelated Business
Income (UBI) Tax
 UBI is defined as any trade or business which
is regularly carried on and which is not in
furtherance of the purpose for which the entity
was granted their tax exempt status.
 Examples of activities on your campus that
may generate UBIT include:
– Rental income, in conjunction with other
services
– Sponsorships
– Research
– Summer camps
27
Unrelated Business
Income Tax
 IRS rules used to determine UBI and calculate
the potential tax are complex.
 The individual responsible for UBI on your
campus has to constantly engage with
University personnel and departments to
proactively assess potential UBI situations.
 University personnel and departments don’t
generally offer information about potential UBI
scenarios, and usually don’t have any idea
that they may be engaging in an activity that
will create a tax liability for the University.
28
University Provided
Housing
 Campuses often want to provide on campus
housing on a temporary basis for select
employees:
– Can the campus provide housing?
– Will there be a tax consequence to the
recipient?
– Will there be a tax consequence or tax
liability assumed by the University as a
result?
29
University Provided
Housing


The University can provide housing without the
individual or the University incurring tax liabilities as
long as the housing is provided in accordance with
IRS Code Section 119 which states:
– The value of lodging furnished to an employee by
the employer is excluded from the employee’s
gross income if three tests are met
1. The lodging is furnished on the employer’s
premises
2. The lodging is furnished for the convenience of
the employer
3. The employee is required to accept the lodging
as a condition of employment
Please note: These three criteria should be
incorporated into the employee’s offer letter.
30
Current Tax News
 Governor Brown’s ballot initiative to raise taxes in order to
avoid “drastic cuts” to public education passed in 2012.
Proposed increases are as follows:
 State income taxes have been temporarily increased
for individuals making > $250K per year
 Sales taxes have been temporarily increased by a half
cent
 More content on it’s way
31
Sample Tax FAQ’s
 Question:
– My department will be providing a $5,000 travel
allowance for a “volunteer” that is traveling
overseas for one quarter to assist with teaching
a class, are there any tax consequences?
 Answer:
– Yes and No. If the volunteer incurs the expense
and then submits receipts for the amount
expended then there is no tax consequence. If
the volunteer submits a travel claim form with no
receipts, then the volunteer would receive a
1099 for the $5,000 and be required to report
the amount on their tax return.
32
Sample Tax FAQ’s
 Question:
– My department will be providing a housing
allowance for a dean or faculty member,
are there any tax consequences?
 Answer:
– An employee that receives a housing
allowance will require authorization from
the Chancellor’s Office and will be paid
thru the payroll system with the appropriate
amount of payroll taxes deducted from
each payment.
33
Sample Tax FAQ’s
 Question:
– A couple of campus employees regularly
sell T-shirts to the local community in order
to raise money for their college to be able
to send faculty members on a sabbatical.
Are there any tax issues that I should be
aware of?
 Answer:
– Since this appears to be a business that is
regularly carried on and the proceeds are
not used in furtherance of the University’s
purpose, there would most likely be UBI
tax implications.
