Over Taxed Client

Our client was a successful executive of a very profitable company. She had significant net worth and was in the 40% tax bracket. We approached her regarding various ways to save taxes today.

Our Answer

Utilizing gifting and family trusts, we successfully shifted income to her children who were in a lower tax bracket. As a result, she saved over $25,000 in income taxes in the first year alone. Additionally, this planning technique offers her substantial ongoing income tax savings and future estate tax savings.

The Legal Right of a Taxpayer

"To decrease the amont of what otherwise would be his taxes, or altogether avoid them, by means which the law permits, cannot be doubted."
