dc.description.abstractNonprofits receive tax exemptions in return for social value creation and delivery. While the outcomes of these tax exemptions are often positive, there are value-detracting situations in which the cost of granting the tax exemption is likely to exceed its benefits. To date, explanations for these value-detracting situations remain scattered and discipline-centric. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to clarify the conditions under which tax-exempt nonprofits detract value from society. We survey 15 years of tax-exempt nonprofit scholarship, across nine disciplines, and identify three value-detracting conditions: policy-making and regulation intemperance, nonprofit management and governance distraction, and detection and prosecution inconsistencies. These three conditions interact and reinforce each other, compounding the value destruction to society. Overall, our findings offer important policy insights regarding the unintended consequences of tax exemptions, and our framework can be used to identify negative-return situations.
