Orrick Tax Talk 3 - Private Business Use

Under IRS regulations, tax-exempt bonds are subject to strict private business use limitations which vary depending on whether the bonds are governmental bonds or 501(c)(3) bonds. The discussion covers certain uses and activities that frequently occur in tax-exempt bond financed facilities and the private business use implications of such activities. In addition, certain exceptions to the private business use rules are reviewed.
