How providing the perfect capital gains tax solution for your clients will increase your sales.
Introducing the Deferred Sales Trust™
The Deferred Sales Trust, or DST is a legal, proven, and IRS-tested tax strategy designed to help Sellers of highly appreciated assets to defer the ordinary income taxes and capital gains taxes over a period of years instead of paying them all in a lump sum. The Deferred Sales Trust gives the Seller/Taxpayer the ability to control their capital gains tax exposure, reinvestment terms, and installment payments made from the trust.

*Minimum Viable Transaction
When considering selling an appreciated asset, if the expected tax liability without any particular planning would cost $80,000 to $100,000 or more in taxes, then the DST should always be considered. Said another way, if the amount of the gain or profit that will be taxed on is at least $250,000, then YES you should look into the DST.
