outright to museum. Having paid
81 900 originally and having pock-
eted $4,000 he would have paid in
taxes, he is ahead $4,000
Things get more interesting
when you get into higher brackets.
A man whose income is $400,00
year is paying 80 per cent in
taxes, and above that 81 per cent.
The booklet Taxes and Art, .
prepared by the New York art
dealers French and Company, and
published by Prentice-Hall, tells
what can happen in a Hypothetical
case for a man in the so per cent
bracket
He owns a painting whose pres
ent value is $4,000 He got it
years ago for $4,000, but it is the
present value that counts. If he
sells it for $4,000 he has made a
capital gain of $4,000 and has to
pay 25 per cent tax on that, or
$4,000, SO he pockets only 100000.
But if he gives it to museum
he deducts $4,000 from his ad-
justed gross income and is for
given the 80 per cent tax on that
much, or about $4,000
So he's about $4,000 ahead by
giving it away.
What if painting is SO valuable
that it is above the 20 per cent
allowance for charitable gifts?
Simple.
The donor gives a fraction of
the painting this year, takes his
full deductions. and gives other
fractions in succeeding years.
Technically, he must not declare
his intention of what he will do
!. in succeeding years, or the inter-
nal revenue experts would demand
a full settlement at once.
A collector can give something
expensive to museum and retain
life interest. Because of the tax
provisions, it is more economical
than leaving something in will,
subject to estate taxes.
The French and Company book
let cites a hypothetical case of a
collector, so years old, who owns
an Old Master worth $4,000 and
has an adjusted gross income of
100000. In the life expectancy
tables he has a factor of 1903.
Multiplying that by the $4,000
value of the painting. you get
1854 as the current value of his
gift, and he can deduct that from
his taxes.
These tax code provisions mean
that Uncle Sam is helping collec-
tors to donate art to museums.
There are many side benefits. To
cite only one, a museum that
knows it is going to get an Old
Master from certain collector, a
French modern from another. and
a fine tapestry from another, can
spend its available funds for other
things
