The rich how to spend money originally a private matter, but the attitude of the wealth of the rich has been a hot topic in the public domain. Donated $ 21.5 billion, Buffett, Bill Gates donated almost naked, and now has put forward Facebook99% of the shares to donate a small bar, this style often wayward contributions to the public can not help but tut tut about it! But things may not be as people think.
A small bar, for example, although that letter addressed to her daughter's become explosion models circle of friends, but according to a small bar where the company's spokesman said, this new organization is not actually a charitable trust fund, but a limited liability company, mainly focused on personalized learning, disease treatment, to connect people and build strong communities, of course, charity is certainly one of the whereabouts of the money, but not the only destination. This implies that 99% used to do charity but people say misunderstandings and wishful thinking.
All along, do not do charity, how do charity, do much charity often been used to measure the moral standards of the rich. When people Buffett, like when a small dot tie, virtually playing a bad review for those who donate more than enough rich. However, from the perspective of social management and operational point of view, the positive energy of the charity should be a good egg System.
In the United States, the United States does not encourage the practice of unearned inherited a huge legacy from their parents, so the US estate tax were prohibitively high, although there are floating up and down, but remained at about 45%. In Washington state, because there is no state income tax level, in order to ensure state government revenue, but also additional levy of up to 20 percent of the state inheritance tax. That is, if Bill Gates the richest man in the wealth directly to the child, after paid the inheritance tax, wealth possible remaining 40%.
In addition, the US investment income also impose high capital gains tax rates ranging from 15% to 35%. If Gates sell his hands long-held Microsoft stock, it will pay 15% of the capital gains tax, if he obtained a short-term cash investments, will have to pay up to 35% of federal taxes.
So for most of the rich, and its legacy to the children will be playing heavily taxed, it is better to charity foundations. Because, if the property donated to charitable foundations, doing so may be exempted from the three taxes, for the first time to sell the stock of capital gains tax, inheritance tax and annual investment VAT is included. At the time to his foundation donated property, but also to further offset the 40% of wages and other income.
Through actual operation, these tycoons found that if the money donated to charitable foundations, to the rate of return of 10% per annum, for each one hundred million US dollars of property deduct 5% per year according to US law must donate the remaining 5%. Since the foundation would not have to pay any tax from beginning to end, 30 years down, this one billion dollars in value to $ 430 million principal amount. So this is not only reserved for the children of the rich more, but also by large donations philanthropist won reputation, and, more importantly, most of America's wealthiest think that instead of paying taxes to the government to transform society, it is better to set up their own foundation transform the world, a good system to make do charity things fame Three Harvests, who would not like to do charity it?
