Motivation

[edit]

Some countries distinguish whether an organisation is non-profit, aka. tax-exempt, not solely based on its legal form. In some cases, the same legal form can be either for-profit or not-for-profit. These countries typically have a tax status that makes this distinction.

The “organisation tax status” is intended to clarify which organisations are subject to specific tax regulations, for example, to determine which organisations can receive tax-deductible donations or whether a German foundation qualifies as a non-profit organisation or serves purely private purposes.

Three examples:

@Ainali: Fine with me, if we use something like has use (P366) = nonprofit organization (Q163740) on the statuses to make selection easier. But I can't imagine any uses at the moment, do you have examples of non non-profit statuses in mind? --NGOgo (talk) 20:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What I know is that different legal forms in Sweden, for example, aktiebolag (Q422007), economic association (Q10480691) and general partnership (Q646164) are taxed slightly differently[1] and while I don't know exactly which items would fit as values, I am guessing that is the case in some other countries too which would be very interesting to be able to query and compare.

Ok. Changed it to a more general name. I guess the main use will be non-profits, but in that case it can be used more general. --NGOgo (talk) 22:15, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Ainali: Is this a proposal you can support in the current form? --NGOgo (talk) 10:28, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's better! I do think we also need to be able to add this to types of organizations (see below). Also, I think we need this property, but we also need to get it as good as we can from the start as changing scopes after the fact is a hassle and unclarities may lead to divergent modeling.
