The state. The OP is about a federal corporate tax exemption, and your article is about a deal the state made to get the Super Bowl. Fed gov =/= State of New Jersey. State sales tax =/= federal corporate income tax.


From the article in the link you provided in post #5:

The NFL is exempt for federal and state income tax under section 501c6 of the federal tax code, which is very different from the sections that exempt charities and other philanthropic organizations,” Chair of the Nonprofit Organizations Practice at Venable Law Firm, Jeff Tenenbaum explains, “A 501c6 organization, which is typically reserved for trade and professional associations and chambers of commerce and some sports leagues, is a category that… carries with it exemption from paying federal and state corporate income tax on your net income.” (emphasis added)


I would suggest you read the entire article you linked as it doesn't say what I think you think it says; your selective quoting aside.
