acquired by trust or will as described  
below), that were more than the current  
limits permit, there are transitional rules  
that permit the foundation to dispose of  
the excess over time without being  
subject to the tax on excess business  
holdings.  
During the first phase, no excess  
business holdings tax was imposed on a  
private foundation for interests held  
since May 26, 1969, if the foundation  
had excess holdings on that date. The  
first phase is:  
Disposition of excess business hold-  
ings within 90 days. Generally, when  
a private foundation acquires excess  
business holdings other than as a result  
of purchase by the foundation (such as  
an acquisition by a disqualified person),  
the foundation won't be taxed on those  
excess holdings if it disposes of enough  
of them so that it no longer has an  
unincorporated business that isn't a  
partnership, joint venture, or sole  
proprietorship, references to nonvoting  
stock don't apply for computation of  
permitted holdings. See Regulations  
section 53.4943-3(c)(4).  
Attribution of business holdings. In  
determining the holdings in a business  
enterprise of either a private foundation  
or a disqualified person, any stock or  
other interest owned directly or indirectly  
by or for a corporation, partnership,  
estate, or trust is considered owned  
proportionately by or for its  
excess. To avoid the tax, the disposition  
must take place within 90 days from the  
date the foundation knew, or had reason  
to know, of the event that caused it to  
have excess business holdings. That  
90-day period will be extended to  
include the period during which federal  
or state securities laws prevent the  
foundation from disposing of those  
excess business holdings. See

General rules on the permitted hold-  
ings of a private foundation in a  
business enterprise. No excess  
business holdings tax is imposed (a) if a  
private foundation and all disqualified  
persons together hold no more than  
20% of the voting stock of a business  
enterprise, or (b) on nonvoting stock, if  
all disqualified persons together don't  
own more than 20% of the voting stock  
of the business enterprise.

In general, this rule doesn't apply to  
certain income interests or remainder  
interests of a private foundation in a  
split-interest trust described in section  
4947(a)(2). See Regulations section  
53.4943-8.  
Taxable period. The taxable period  
begins on the first day the foundation  
has excess business holdings and ends  
on the earliest of:  
A 15-year period beginning on May  
26, 1969, if on that date the foundation  
and all disqualified persons together  
had more than a 75% voting stock

beneficial interest of any unincorporated  
enterprise), or more than a 75% interest

venture) in the enterprise (the 15-year

or because the deficiency is paid, the  
date of filing the waiver or the date of

See Regulations section 53.4943-9.  
During the second phase (the  
15-year period after the first phase), if  
the foundation's disqualified persons  
hold more than 2% of the enterprise's  
voting stock, the foundation will be liable  
for tax if the foundation holds more than  
25% of the voting stock or if the  
foundation and its disqualified persons  
together hold more than 50% of the  
voting stock.  
However, during the second phase, if  
a foundation's disqualified persons

enterprise after July 18, 1984, causing  
the combined holdings of the
