NON-COMMERCIAL ENTITIES OF THE THIRD SECTOR

Our Tax Advisors are specialized in providing full support to non-commercial entities of the third sector.

The non-commercial Entity

A non-commercial Entity is a type of organization that mainly runs non-commercial activities (no profit) and is enrolled in the Single Register of the Third Sector (RUNTS).

Organizations for social promotion, volunteering, philantropic entities, associative networks, social co-op and companies etc.

The non-commercial Entity can therefore run business activities, but only in a secondary way and with the ultimate goal of raising funds for its social purposes. The main non-profit activity must be of general interest and complying with Art.5 of the Code of the Third Sector (CTS).

Special Tax Regime

The non-commercial Entity of the third sector (social promotion associations, volunteering, philantropic entities, associative networks, social co-op and companies, etc.) benefit from a special tax regime:

  • Non-taxable income of institutional activities for those enrolled, associates or partners, as well as membership dues, both with regard direct taxation (IRES) and VAT;
  • To be considered non commercial and non-taxable, the activities must be carried out either for free or with incomes that do not exceed effective costs (no more than 5%).
  • Non-taxable contributions from Public Administrations;
  • Non-taxable funds from occasional public funding campaigns or in proximity of special events.
  • Application of the Italian Regime Forfettario art. 80 CTS, to earnings coming from secondary commercial activities;
  • Regime Forfettario further favourable for ODV and APS art 86 CTS. to earnings from secondary commercial activities.
  • Benefits for indirect and local taxes, like exemption from IMU (municipal property tax) on properties used to run the institutional activity, exemption from taxation of donations/successions, mortgage and cadastral taxes for transfers free of charge;
  • Tax deductions for those making charitable donations in favour of non-commercial Entities.
