Capital Gains Deferral Strategies

Those of us who own highly appreciated assets such as homes, ranches, businesses, commercial real estate, medical practice, to name a few, are often reluctant to sell that asset because of the capital gains tax costs associated with the sale. But there is a way to defer the capital gains tax and reduce your overall tax burden. The Deferred Sales Trust™ (DST) can provide a viable way out of this financial dilemma. The DST utilizes a legal and established method that allows the seller of the property to defer capital gains taxes due at the time of the sale, to be paid instead over a period of time that is selected by the Seller/Taxpayer in advance. It is a legal and time-tested investment strategy used to defer capital gains tax when you sell your business or property.

Deferring Capital Gains taxes is not new. Some commonly used tax deferral methods include 1031 Exchanges, charitable trusts and traditional seller carry-back installment sales contracts. Various types of trusts are used by millions of Americans to protect and preserve their wealth for themselves and their heirs.
