Achieving Significant Income and Estate Tax Savings While Maintaining Control of the Assets and Cash Going to Charity in 90 Years.
Innovative CPA’s and tax attorneys are seeking strategies to empower their wealthy clients to legally shield their clients from the heavy burdens of confiscatory taxation, a reality at their level of income.
Out of this effort, the Limited Liability Company with Charitable Intent (CLLC) was born, enabling wealthy taxpayers to save significant income and estate taxes, maintaining control of the cash from the sale of their capital assets and deductible contributions to the CLLC.
Charitable LLCS Provide An Effective, Legal and Important Way to Reduce Overbearing Tax Liabilities.
So why gave CLLC’s gotten a bad rap? The answer is simple. It is not because of the strategy itself. Some feel strongly that this strategy is immoral, taking advantage of charitable giving. We beg to differ. Mark Zuckerberg uses Charitable LLCs with no problem, minimizing his tax burden, legally of course as do hundreds if not thousands of wealthy investors and entrepreneurs.
We all deal with the complex tax codes. When these codes provide an opportunity to legally reduce your taxes, there is no reason not to take advantage of such codes. We recommend that you use careful and prudent tax planning in pro-actively reducing your tax burdens, federal, state and estate.
How they do it
Zuckerberg Sold His Facebook Shares For Charity
FACEBOOK FOUNDER AND CEO Mark Zuckerberg just sold a chunk of his personal shares in the social networking company. It’s worth about $95 million before taxes, and it’s all designated for charity.
This is the first round of funding for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the philanthropic venture Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, announced in December. At the time of the initiative’s launch, Zuckerberg and Chan pledged 99 percent of their Facebook fortune to philanthropic causes, which means donating around $45 billion over the span of their lifetimes.
What you should know about Jack Dorsey’s surprising $1 billion commitment to charity
Jack Dorsey is making what may be the largest private gift to tackling the coronavirus and its consequences, pledging to spend up to $1 billion as part of an unexpected philanthropic push.
The founder of Twitter and Square announced Tuesday that he would move $1 billion of his own money into a limited liability company (LLC), where the funds would go, in part, to addressing the Covid-19 crisis. Dorsey described the gift as intended to “fund global COVID-19 relief,” but didn’t specify how much of the money would be earmarked for that as opposed to pushing for “girls’ health and education” and a universal basic income, which he said the LLC, called Start Small, would back once the pandemic subsides.
