Through Capital Gains Tax Deferral and Innovative Investment Strategies

The Deferred Sales Trust™ is not new nor is it an untested structure. The same structure was written about in 1986 by the Harvard Law Review stating, “This is an example of the time value of money principle because the seller during the period of deferral can invest the money that otherwise would be used to pay the taxes. They are in effect receiving an interest-free loan from the government.”

Harvard Law Review Vol. 100, No. 2 (Dec. 1986), pp. 403-422 Published by: The Harvard Law Review Association. 

What is a Deferred Sales Trust™?

Think of a Deferred Sales Trust™ (DST) as an IRA for real estate and business sales with additional flexibility.

With an IRA, you defer paying taxes on earned income for as long as the income is invested rather than received. This system allows the earnings from the investments to pay the taxes over time rather than paying taxes in the year of the earnings.

Similar to an IRA, with a Deferred Sales Trust™ you also defer paying taxes on the profit of a real estate or business sale as long as the profits are invested by the DST rather than the seller taking constructive receipt of the funds at the time of the sale. This system allows the earnings from the investments to pay the taxes over time rather than in the year of the sale.

The DST structure does not have restrictive limits on the deferral period, and you can withdraw funds as needed and only pay taxes on the amount withdrawn. If set up properly, funds may be reinvested back into real estate without the time constraints of a 1031 exchange.
