Re CTLawyer’s post re telemarketing charities: Yes, charities are exempt. But is a telemarketer who gets a commission making a charitable call, or conducting business? The charity is exempt, but if the caller is an independent contractor (which charities may call their solicitors to cut down on the expenses of being an employer), is she/he not making a business call for her/himself? Is an independent life insurance agent calling to earn a commission for selling me insurance any different, legally, than an independent solicitor calling me to earn a commission for inducing me to make a contribution to a charity?
