Sponsored Research in Tax-Exempt Facilities

In today’s economic environment, higher ed institutions are often looking for ways to maximize revenue, recruit and retain faculty, and form relationships with the private sector, and sponsored research and related arrangements often are one of the options considered. Sponsored scientific research, research joint ventures and third-party access occurring in tax-exempt financed facilities may give rise to private business use depending on various factors, including how rights to use intellectual property resulting from the research are managed. Discuss these arrangements, including the difference between basic and applied research and the IRS safe harbor rules relating to sponsored research as provided in Rev Proc 2007-47, within the context of managing overall PBU limits for tax-exempt bonds.

Unearthing Old Skeletons

University officials sometimes discover that a tax position the school has taken may be incorrect. For example, a school may have treated the value of the President’s residence as excludable under section 119 when facts indicate the contrary. Gain insight on how to deal with such situations, including the pros and cons of getting a third-party tax opinion and the different comfort levels for tax opinions (reasonable basis, more likely than not, etc.). If the tax position is wrong, what are the school’s options? Do you fix it prospectively or is retroactive correction or even a voluntary disclosure required or recommended? Discuss the impact of Circular 230 (the IRS’s rules of professional conduct).
