Description

Satisfies Experiential Learning requirement.

This course offers an innovative lens to critically explore issues of business taxation by examining entities and transactions in the social enterprise sector. Social enterprises blur the traditional distinctions between for-profit and nonprofit entities by blending social mission and market-based, business strategies. The tax treatment of these hybrid entities is complex and an increasingly contested area of law. Students in the course apply their knowledge of business taxation and test their assumptions on taxing social enterprises through client-based assignments.
