Taxes Ogres And Onions In Gramercy Herald Square Transfer Tax Case

The issue in the present case does not involve an understanding of the physical or social sciences, obscure regulatory practices, complex markets or industries, expert analysis of voluminous factual data, or subtle policy determinations outside the competence of ordinary persons. Indeed, the issues are so purely legal in nature that the parties stipulated the facts and submitted the case without a hearing. The Division’s interpretation herein is inconsistent with the plain language of the statute, regulations, and its own publication and as such is not entitled to deference.

Kermit Washington Story Has Lessons For Donors Founders And Boards

Kermit Washington Story Has Lessons For Donors Founders And Boards

According to the indictment, Kermit Washington was indicating to potential donors that his organization had no administrative costs at all. In reality, that would be an indication of a charity with inadequate controls.  The zeal to maximize the percentage of donations that go to the mission is laudable, but you do need a greater or lesser degree of management.  Regardless, the 2012 Form 990-EZ for the 6th Man Foundation shows about $90,000 in contributions of which nearly $65,000 went to clinic supplies.  The balance went to overhead type expenses like rent and telephone.  No salaries.  So Mr. Washington  may have been engageing in what Donald Trump calls “truthful hyperbole”.  On the other hand, it may well be that any additional money he raised to the extent it was actually deposited in 6th Man would mean more clinic supplies.

Over and over again courts have said that there is nothing sinister in so arranging one’s affairs as to keep taxes as low as possible. Everybody does so, rich or poor; and all do right, for nobody owes any public duty to pay more than the law demands: taxes are enforced exactions, not voluntary contributions. To demand more in the name of morals is mere cant.
