E. POLITICAL ACTIVITIES

According to the tax reforms published on December 11, 2013, NPOs with authorized donee status are now expressly able to engage in advocacy activities aimed to influence legislation, provided that such activities are unpaid and are not carried out on behalf of any donor (LISR Article 82(III)). Organizations must disclose all such activities in their transparency report, including information such as the political party the organization was working with.

NPOs qualifying under the Promotion Law must not promote partisan political ends.

Other NPOs are generally free to engage in political activities, allowed pursuant to the political party and electoral reform legislation passed in May 2014.
