Wanting to Avoid Capital Gains when you sell a Property?
Are you selling a business or investment property and trying to formulate a way to avoid any capital gains? Hae you considered utilizing a trust?
Byron McBroom is a CPA and he is joining us at the November MAREI Meeting to chat about how to legally pay as little in taxes as possible. In advance of this meeting, he shared a bit of info on using a trust to avoid capital gains.
By utilizing a variety of trusts, you can turn your taxes into an asset and earn income from the tax payments you are delaying paying to the government.
