Under Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Sec. 501 (h), 501c3s may now choose an expenditure threshold under which lobbying is permissible as long as it does not exceed the threshold. This threshold is based on a sliding scale, with up to 20% of the first $500,000 of an organization's budget allowed for lobbying expenses. 15% of the next $500,000, 10% of funds between $1 million and $1.5 million, and 5% above $1.5 million may be used for lobbying. A ceiling of $1 million is imposed on c3 lobbying expenses.</I>Jeff Gillenwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644227936579446535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9097125.post-1115177222364427352005-05-03T23:27:00.000-04:002005-05-03T23:27:00.000-04:00Bzzzzzz Bzzzzzz BzzzzzBzzzzzz Bzzzzzz BzzzzzThe New Albanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10757531658514051905noreply@blogger.com
