The excise taxes imposed on private foundations include the following.

? Tax based on investment income.

? Tax on self-dealing.

? Tax on failure to distribute income.

? Tax on excess business holdings.

? Tax on investments that put the private foundation's assets at risk.

The tax based on investment income effectively is an audit fee, where the chief purpose is to defray IRS expenses. The other taxes restrict the permitted activities of private foundations. By its nature, a private foundation envisions a more narrow definition of the common good (and therefore less broad public support) than other exempt organization.
