AboutHarvey Mechanic Expertise Federal tax issues of nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charities only. Establishing and maintaining legal requirements for such non-profit organizations in the United States, including Internal Revenue service filings and requirements. I will not be working on this free forum to answer question about Nonprofit's Unrelated Business or how to fill out forms.

Experience I have been practicing law and especially the law of nonprofit organizations since 1990 when I was admitted to the New York Bar.
Expert: Harvey Mechanic Date: 7/5/2008 Subject: association dues/fees
Question What is the maximum amount that dues can be raised annually. I've been told 10% if so what statute?
Answer I would need to know the subsection of Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c) that the organization was incorporated under and under which it received IRS exemption determination. Then I will be able to answer further.
