Scouts offer tax solution
For years Boy Scouts have been
performing "Good Turns"
throughout the community: Everything from '"ood drives to park
clean ups. Now, Scouting can
provide agood turn for yourpocket
book — tax savings.
Individuals with appreciated
property or stocks are excellent
candidates for tax savings. These
people own land or other assets
that were purchased years ago for
a fraction of their current value.
Forexample,alandownercould
have paid $25,(X)0 for a piece of
property that is now worth
$500,000. If the owner sells the
property to generate income, they
could be hable for up to $133,000
of capital gains taxes.
A simple solution to the capital
gain tax problem would be to give
the property to Scouting and establish a Charitable Remainder
Unitrust. The donor receives a
$500,000 charitable tax deduction,
as well as income for life, at approximately $25,(XX) a year. A
life insurance policy could be
funded with the income from the
property, replacing the value of
the property forthe donor's heirs.
Charitable giving can produce
benefits for donors, including reduced income taxes, avoidance of
capital gain taxes and increased
income. :.
