A Unique Tax Strategy

If you are selling, or are considering the sale of a highly appreciated asset such as a business, real estate, art, car collection, stocks, etc. with high capital gains tax exposure, we have a deferred tax strategy you should consider!

Depending on your situation, we recommend a deferred tax strategy that is a legal, proven 1031 Exchange alternative or a way to protect your 1031 Exchange from failing. The simple elegance of our tax deferral strategy applies a lawful and accepted process to allow the seller of a business to defer capital gain taxes due at the time of sale over a period of time agreed upon with the seller or taxpayer in advance. This tax strategy uses a 100-year-old tax code under IRS code 453, which is a form of an installment sale paired with a specialized trust that acts as a third party, so at the time of the sale you don’t receive constructive receipt of the asset, which would be taxable by the IRS. This is not a monetized installment sale.

Ultimately, this deferred tax strategy has the potential to generate substantially more wealth than a direct or taxed sale.
