This is the case, the statutes of the Association on a regular members or delegates in associations must be adapted. Else is to be reckoned with non-profit legal sanctions. Action is required but also for associations, where the Statute contains no statements on the volunteer work of the elected Board members.

The part-time aspect is omitted for recipients of unemployment benefit, pensioners, students and students, as well as housewives or men. Thus, the club or association in the compensation settlement can also use this tax allowance.
