Why do charities like Charitable Lead Trusts?
![Page 5: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A Charitable Lead Trust locks in an immediate stream of charitable gifting without requiring continuing requests
![Page 6: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why would a donor use a Charitable Lead Trust?
![Page 7: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The primary motivation for using a Charitable Lead Trust is for tax advantages, most commonly in gift and estate taxes
![Page 8: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Charitable Lead Trusts are less common than Charitable Remainder Trusts, but usually involve larger dollar amounts

A step-CLAT increases payments to charity by a fixed percentage, paying less in early years and more in later years
Year 5$207 (+20%)
Because more assets stay in longer,
more growth can occur, leaving more for family
Year 6$249 (+20%)
Year 7$299 (+20%)
Year 8$359 (+20%)

The measuring life/lives must be donor, any ancestor of the remainder beneficiaries, or spouses of either.
Measuring life cannot be used “if there is at least a 50 percent probability that the individual will die within 1 year” unless person actually lives at least 18 months.

Issues for Generation Skipping Transfers• CLATs (not CLUTs) taxed on
projected and actual amount transferred to skip persons
• If charity can be changed, tax is recipient liability, so trust payment of tax creates more tax
![Page 46: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Growth can also avoid taxation using a non-charitable plan (Grantor Retained
Annuity Trust), but the creator must outlive the term of the GRAT for it to work

How does it work?• Estate tax and
income tax grantor trust definitions are not precisely identical
• If donor keeps a right to get trust property by substituting other property of equal value, it causes grantor treatment for income tax, but not estate tax

What kind of property can a CLT hold?
![Page 60: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
CLTs must follow same rules as private foundations
for self-dealing, taxable expenditures, jeopardizing investments, and excess business holdings
![Page 61: Charitable Lead Trusts](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052323/55942e0a1a28ab383d8b4586/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Unrelated business income (e.g., from
debt-financed property or actively
managing business) is allowed.
But in a non-grantor CLT, giving this income
to charity is deductible only at
50% (to public charity) or 30% (to
private foundation).

A GRANTOR CLT
may be a subchapter S corporation
shareholder because donor is treated as
stock owner
NON-GRANTOR CLT
should not hold subchapter S shares,
because trust is treated as the owner
(allowed only when ESBT election eliminates charitable deductions)
Subchapter S-Corp Stock
