The Complex Federal Tax System:
The current federal tax system involves over 2,600 pages and is complex, incomprehensible, and unfair. While higher-income taxpayers pay a larger share of their income in taxes, the objective of taxpayers is to find multitudinous loopholes and methods to legally avoid paying taxes. That’s where companies like Sky Tower Counsel come in, ensuring that taxes are minimized or eliminated and assets can be generationally passed on with limited loss of wealth.
Out-of-the-Box Tax Strategies:
At Sky Tower Counsel, we pride ourselves on providing our clients with innovative and effective tax-saving strategies, ensuring they remain in good standing with the IRS while keeping more of their hard-earned wealth. Our team has successfully employed a number of tactics for our bold and gutsy clients to minimize their taxes.
One of our mid 7-figure millennial clients benefited greatly from establishing a Family Limited Partnership (FLP). This powerful tax-saving strategy allowed them to transfer business assets into the FLP, reducing their overall tax liability and retaining control over the assets. This not only helped minimize estate and gift taxes but also provided an orderly transition of wealth and control to their loved ones.
Offshore Tax Havens, though controversial and scrutinized, can offer significant tax savings for those who carefully structure their investments. Moving assets to countries with more favorable tax laws
potentially minimizes exposure to U.S. taxes. The key lies in proper structuring and compliance with international tax regulations, ensuring that tax savings are legally maximized while avoiding potential penalties.
A mega-rich female industry giant, one of Sky Tower’s clients, utilized a Charitable Remainder Trust (CRT) to her advantage. By placing assets in a CRT, she received an immediate income tax deduction and the assets grew tax-free within the trust. Upon the trust’s termination, the remaining assets were distributed to a designated charity. This strategy not only helped reduce her income and estate taxes but also allowed her to support a charitable cause she was passionate about.
One of our down-to-earth, strike-it-rich oil wildcatter clients, who owns hundreds of thousands of acres of land, invested in Conservation Easements at our suggestion. This attractive tax-saving strategy allowed the landowner to preserve their land for conservation purposes, receive a charitable deduction, and limit the land’s development potential. This out-of-the-box approach enabled the landowner to contribute to the preservation of natural habitats while simultaneously reducing their tax burden.
