Abstract:
The author explains how to combine the use of a charitable remainder unitrust (CRUT), with a C corporation as the settlor or grantor of the CRUT, and a Malta Pension Plan in order to eliminate taxation on the liquidation of the corporation. The strategy works to (1) minimize and defer corporate-level taxation and (2) eliminate taxation upon the liquidation of the corporation.Keywords: Charitable Remainder Unitrust, Malta Pension Plan, Charitable Deduction, UBTI Concerns
