(a) General rule
The term ‘‘unrelated trade or business’’
means, in the case of any organization subject
to the tax imposed by section 511, any trade or
business the conduct of which is not substan-
tially related (aside from the need of such orga-
nization for income or funds or the use it makes
of the profits derived) to the exercise or per-
formance by such organization of its charitable,
educational, or other purpose or function consti-
tuting the basis for its exemption under section
501 (or, in the case of an organization described
in section 511(a)(2)(B), to the exercise or per-
formance of any purpose or function described in
section 501(c)(3)), except that such term does not
include any trade or business—
(1) in which substantially all the work in
carrying on such trade or business is per-
formed for the organization without com-
pensation; or
(2) which is carried on, in the case of an or-
ganization described in section 501(c)(3) or in
the case of a college or university described in
section 511(a)(2)(B), by the organization pri-
marily for the convenience of its members,
students, patients, officers, or employees, or,
in the case of a local association of employees
described in section 501(c)(4) organized before

nization of items of work-related clothes and
equipment and items normally sold through

cilities, or by snack bars, for the convenience

not, be related to the exempt purposes of the or-
ganization. Where an activity carried on for
profit constitutes an unrelated trade or busi-

§ 514. Unrelated debt-financed income
(a) Unrelated debt-financed income and deduc-
tions
In computing under section 512 the unrelated
business taxable income for any taxable year—
(1) Percentage of income taken into account
There shall be included with respect to each
debt-financed property as an item of gross in-
come derived from an unrelated trade or busi-
ness an amount which is the same percentage
(but not in excess of 100 percent) of the total
gross income derived during the taxable year
from or on account of such property as (A) the
average acquisition indebtedness (as defined in
subsection (c)(7)) for the taxable year with re-
spect to the property is of (B) the average
amount (determined under regulations pre-
scribed by the Secretary) of the adjusted basis
of such property during the period it is held by
the organization during such taxable year.
(2) Percentage of deductions taken into ac-
count
There shall be allowed as a deduction with
respect to each debt-financed property an
amount determined by applying (except as
provided in the last sentence of this para-
graph) the percentage derived under paragraph
(1) to the sum determined under paragraph (3).
The percentage derived under this paragraph
shall not be applied with respect to the deduc-
tion of any capital loss resulting from the
carryback or carryover of net capital losses
under section 1212.
(3) Deductions allowable
The sum referred to in paragraph (2) is the
sum of the deductions under this chapter
which are directly connected with the debt-fi-
nanced property or the income therefrom, ex-
cept that if the debt-financed property is of a
character which is subject to the allowance for
depreciation provided in section 167, the allow-
ance shall be computed only by use of the
straight-line method.
(b) Definition of debt-financed property
(1) In general
For purposes of this section, the term ‘‘debt-
financed property’’ means any property which
is held to produce income and with respect to
which there is an acquisition indebtedness (as
defined in subsection (c)) at any time during
the taxable year (or, if the property was dis-
posed of during the taxable year, with respect
to which there was an acquisition indebted-
ness at any time during the 12-month period
ending with the date of such disposition), ex-
cept that such term does not include—
(A)(i) any property substantially all the
use of which is substantially related (aside
from the need of the organization for income
or funds) to the exercise or performance by
such organization of its charitable, edu-
cational, or other purpose or function con-
stituting the basis for its exemption under
section 501 (or, in the case of an organization
