  1. It is a trade or business,
  2. It is regularly carried on, and
  3. It is not substantially related to furthering the exempt purpose of the organization.

Exceptions

The main exceptions to the definitions of unrelated trade or business are:

  • Activities conducted substantially by volunteers. (~85%)
  • Activities conducted for the convenience of members, students, patients, officers, or employees.
  • Sales of donated merchandise.
  • Distribution of "low-cost" articles (<$8.90).
  • Convention and trade show activity.
