The current income tax laws do not permit an income tax deduction for contributions to foreign charities. But there are several options for charitably motivated clients to support foreign causes in a tax-efficient manner. These options include the possibility of a tax treaty between the United States and the country in which the charity is formed allowing a charitable deduction. Also, the allowance of a charitable deduction by the estate of a decedent for donations made to foreign charities is mentioned. Charitable entities already in existence formed in the United States, yet doing work in foreign countries is another option for those clients who do not wish to be closely involved with the ultimate charitable recipient. But for those clients who wish to maintain close control over the use of their donation and choice of the ultimate charitable recipient, they can first form their own charitable entity in the United States. The donor would then make donations to the U.S. charity and have the U.S. charity make donations to the foreign charity. The donor must make sure the U.S. charity closely conforms to the charitable qualification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code for the donation to be deductible for income tax purposes. They must also ensure the manner in which donations are made to foreign charities cannot be dictated by any foreign organization. Illustrations of those U.S. entities that met these requirements and those that did not are detailed in the article. The article's practical applications include the forms and filing requirements for creating a U.S. charity.

The September 11 catastrophes have presented America with an opportunity to analyze both our nation's continued vulnerabilities and the many factors that contributed to widespread anti-American sentiments abroad that culminated in heinous acts by radical extremists. Thus, the tragedies should catapult this country into a heightened appreciation of the many compelling reasons to enhance economic development abroad while promoting social stewardship globally, both for the inherent worthiness of their good as well as for the improvement of this country's image abroad. Crucial to these invaluable goals, and as one foreign policy ingredient, our government should develop a global philanthropic policy that encourages greater financial participation by America's citizens, corporations, and nonprofit organizations. To promote global philanthropy today, international considerations must become central in the design of our tax laws and tax policy. The government's lawmakers and policy-makers must understand the impact that their design has on our donors, on global philanthropic vehicles, and, consequently, on the types of decisions that the boards of trustees, program officers, and legal counsel of those philanthropic vehicles must make. Congress and the administration must analyze the federal tax structures under which global philanthropy operates and, because of the importance.

The Routledge Handbook of Taxation and Philanthropy ventures into a territory that is still widely unexplored. It contains 30 academic contributions that aim to provide a better understanding of whether, why, and how philanthropic initiatives, understood as voluntary contributions for the common good, can and should be fostered by states through tax incentives. The topic has been addressed from a multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective – covering neuroeconomics, sociology, political science, psychology, affective sciences, philosophy, behavioral economy, and law – because of its global and multifaceted nature. It also contains the OECD report on Taxation and Philanthropy released in November 2020, which was prepared in this context as a result of a collaboration with the Geneva Centre for Philanthropy of the University of Geneva. The book is divided into four sections, exploring, respectively, the justification of tax incentives for philanthropy, theoretical and empirical insights about taxes, efficiency and donor behavior in that context, and tax incentives for cross-border philanthropy and for hybrid entities and social entrepreneurship. It is believed that this volume will be a landmark yet only the beginning of a journey in which a lot remains to be studied, learned, and said.

The troubling ethics and politics of philanthropy Is philanthropy, by its very nature, a threat to today’s democracy? Though we may laud wealthy individuals who give away their money for society’s benefit, Just Giving shows how such generosity not only isn’t the unassailable good we think it to be but might also undermine democratic values. Big philanthropy is often an exercise of power, the conversion of private assets into public influence. And it is a form of power that is largely unaccountable and lavishly tax-advantaged. Philanthropy currently fails democracy, but Rob Reich argues that it can be redeemed. Just Giving investigates the ethical and political dimensions of philanthropy and considers how giving might better support democratic values and promote justice.

Rich people stash away trillions of dollars in tax havens like Switzerland, the Cayman Islands, or Singapore. Multinational corporations shift their profits to low-tax jurisdictions like Ireland or Panama to avoid paying tax. Recent stories in the media about Apple, Google, Starbucks, and Fiat are just the tip of the iceberg. There is hardly any multinational today that respects not just the letter but also the spirit of tax laws. All this becomes possible due to tax competition, with countries strategically designing fiscal policy to attract capital from abroad. The loopholes in national tax regimes that tax competition generates and exploits draw into question political economic life as we presently know it. They undermine the fiscal autonomy of political communities and contribute to rising inequalities in income and wealth. Building on a careful analysis of the ethical challenges raised by a world of tax competition, this book puts forward a normative and institutional framework to regulate the practice. In short, individuals and corporations should pay tax in the jurisdictions of which they are members, where this membership can come in degrees. Moreover, the strategic tax setting of states should be limited in important ways. An International Tax Organisation (ITO) should be created to enforce the principles of tax justice. The author defends this call for reform against two important objections. First, Dietsch refutes the suggestion that regulating tax competition is inefficient. Second, he argues that regulation of this sort, rather than representing a constraint on national sovereignty, in fact turns out to be a requirement of sovereignty in a global economy. The book closes with a series of reflections on the obligations that the beneficiaries of tax competition have towards the losers both prior to any institutional reform as well as in its aftermath.
