However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Council's exempt purpose is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Council had no material unrelated business income tax during the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Council has reviewed its tax positions and believes it is more likely than not that they will be sustained upon examination. Accordingly, the Council has concluded that it does not have any unrecognized tax benefits resulting from current or prior period tax positions. Accordingly, no additional disclosures have been made on the financial statements regarding Accounting Standards Codification 740. The Council does not have any outstanding interest or penalties, and none have been recorded in the statements of revenues, expenses and changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
