Stimulus Possibilities of the State in Financing the Non-profit Sector with Tax and Subsidy Instruments
Abstract
The mission of non-business entities is to provide publicly beneficial services. The possibilities of financial support of these entities originate from the system of public finances (subsidies), monetary non-public sources (donations), own resources, and indirect support.
All the above-mentioned financial supplies belong to basic streams that can furnish non-profit organizations. In some countries the financial sources are broadened by tax rebates.
Taxpayers redirect a share of paid income tax to a selected organization that is not business-based. A State is able to respond to these situations, for instance it can expand or narrow donations either in general or to certain entities.
The overall consideration on the effectiveness of the use of individual monetary instruments might differ from the point of view of a State as well as from non-profit organizations.
