Definition of Rebuttable Presumption (in Charity Law)

A concept of Rebuttable Presumption in the context of charitable ogranizations applicable in the United States is provided here: A rule under intermediate sanctions law that delineates procedures a public charity or Section 501 (c)(4) organization must follow in order for the IRS to presume that the compensation provided to a disqualified person(s) in return for services or property is reasonable. The IRS may “rebut” this presumption by presenting evidence showing the compensation was excessive. The rules call for compensation to be approved in advance by the board (or other authorized committee) and further specifies that the members must not have a conflict of interest with respect to the transaction. The board must use information such as salary surveys, appraisals, or other appropriate data to help determine comparability or fair market value of the compensation, and it must also document the basis for its decision.
