I presume 'get rid of the old Sun' means to move it to some other place.

We *may* not even need to be 501(c)3 to be exempt. We should find out whether
Michigan nonprofits are liable for PP taxes. I've been told they're not ...

re 126 as opposed to selling it or giving it away, since we might want a
backup for a while

I don't think we have any particular interest in "not being noticed". We'll
pay what taxes we are legally required to pay, and of course we will take any
sensible and legal steps to minimize those taxes. Selling off obsolete
equipment that we are probably never going to use is a good idea any way you
look at it, taxes or no.

Are you guys thick in the head or what.
Mnet is a 501(c)3.
It is a non-profit.
The city still says we have to pay taxes on our computer equipment.
Why would Grex be any different? It would be nice if you were, adn that we
at m-net could use that same arguement to get us out from under our taxes,
but so far the city won't budge.
So what is there to decide?

Nothing. If we are legally required to pay taxes, then we have to pay taxes.
Being 501(c)3 has nothing to do with it. Not being 501(c)3 certainly doesn't
mean we don't have to pay taxes.

I'm surprised that the city has not already approached Grex about this,
since they have a record that Grex is incorporated in the city. My
impression is Grex has never gotten any notice of anything about this -
I know a non-profit that uses my home as its registered address has not
been contacted. So - how about someone in authority in Grex *asking the city
tax office*? Seems easy enough (once one gets up the nerve....).

Or ask a lawyer who's up on this area. My source (who said a nonprofit
shouldn't be assessed corporate PP taxes) is *not* such, but has worked in
city administration in several Michigan municipalities, & I'd expect him to
be right on this kind of thing.
But I agree entirely with Jan and Rane. This is no reason whatsoever for not
going for 501(c)3. If we owe taxes, we should pay them. We should get some
kind of *authoritative* answer on whether we owe them.

It's my understanding that Mark plans to contact the city. He didn't have
time before he left but plans to on his return.
If Grex owes taxes, it's better to find out before the bill gets too large.

M-Net's "personal property" tax bill runs around $150/year.

that assumes something. let's try, "by what algorithm is the tax amount
determined?"

B. Publicizing the services offered through Grex. Grex is well-established
and well-known and word- of-mouth advertising ...
Notice the space in word- of-mouth. Hows' *that* for a nit?! ;-)
