Trusts Used to Save Tax
Washington reports that Mrs. Grenville Clark of New York saved an estimated $90,000 in taxes in 1936 through sixteen trusts. Paul W. Bruton of the Internal Revenue Service outlined how the trusts, created by Mr and Mrs Clark for their three children, reduced tax liabilities and yielded much lower taxes than a single trust would have. Treasury under-secretary Magill and Rep. Crowther discussed potential fixes to trust loopholes and questioned treasury negligence in informing committees about these devices. The testimony highlighted the large revenue losses from personal trusts and the push to eliminate personal trust exemptions.
