Overcoming tax barriers to philanthropy and social entrepreneurship.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterResearchpeer-review

Abstract

Tax rules may form an impediment to philanthropic initiatives, including innovative activities such as social entrepreneurship and cross-border initiatives. This chapter analyses three specific tax barriers: barriers to cross-border philanthropy, possible barriers as a result of proposed EU corporate income tax harmonization, and barriers to philanthropy in the form of social entrepreneurship. The chapter also discusses solutions that have been developed to overcome these barriers. These include solutions created by both the philanthropic sector and governmental solutions. Also, not only successes are discussed, but failures as well. The chapter argues that to obtain inspiring best practices, the focus should not only be on the U.S. and Western European countries.
