Who Is Industrial Property Donation For?
Industrial property donation may be a very
good consideration for you if:
You were gifted or inherited an industrial property
Industrial property is more of a burden or liability than an asset
Industrial property taxes are unbearable
You are concerned about your liability in reference to the property or to
structures,
equipment, machinery, etc. on the property
You hold an industrial property—either paid off or with mortgages or
liens—that you would like to see benefit others
Industrial property is draining you or your business financially—due to the
unexpected nature of the gift, unrealized purchase potential, or even
catastrophic destruction of property on the site
Tax Deduction Benefits when you Donate Industrial property include:
Tax benefits vary according to your status as owner of an industrial property
and according to the legal structure of your organization. An expert charity
dealing in real estate transfers and/or your accountant, tax, or financial
advisor can tell you more about the specifics of your situation, but the
following is a general overview of the tax advantages of industrial property
donation.
• Individuals can benefit from industrial property donation by
deducting the full fair market value of the property if it has been held for
more than a year.
• Corporate donors may deduct up to ten percent of the
corporation's net profit (assuming you have held a controlling interest for more
than a year and that the property has been held for more than a year).
• S-Corporations, Partnerships, and LLC's cannot claim a deduction for an
industrial property donation, but the contribution will pass on a pro-rated
basis (calculated according to percent ownership) to shareholders, who can then
claim the deduction on their personal return. (*Partnerships and LLC's can claim
deductions without having a basis in the company.)
In each instance, excesses can be carried forward and deducted for up to five
years, so that the donated industrial property can continue to produce tax
advantages for several years after the industrial property donation.
Industrial property donation can be either a generous exercise in philanthropy,
a solution to a financial difficulty, or both. Talk more with your financial
advisors, or contact a professional charity that specializes in charitable real
estate transfers and find out if industrial property donation is in your or your
business's financial best interests. Complete the form below to get started or
