Stop the high costs of maintaining, storing, insuring, and operating your no longer needed vessel – and receive a substantial tax deduction as well!

 

Contact us and if you have a qualified donation, we will explain the Action Donation Services Guarantee^SM that assures the donor that the program meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Service, allowing the donor to maximize his tax advantage through deduction of the full appraised value of the vessel. Unlike other donation services or charities that limit your deduction to the amount the vessel brings at auction, (usually a mere fraction of full appraised value), the Action Donation Services Tax Advantage Program^SM maximizes the value of your donation and guarantees that you will qualify for the maximum legal tax deduction based on the full appraised value of your boat at the time of donation.

 

Why Action Donation Services®?

 

Action Donation Services® is singularly capable of maximizing your tax deduction for donation of your yacht or ship. Our Action Donation Services Tax Advantage Program^SM is unique, because Action Donation Services® is unique, having the worldwide capability to facilitate and completely renovate any yacht or ship – or guarantee your donated vessel will be retained by a qualified and relevant charity for three years – allowing you to claim the maximum legal tax deduction based on the appraised value of your boat at the time of donation.

 

Action Donation Services® represents a wide range of America’s best recognized and most sophisticated charity chapters, including such well-known names as Ronald McDonald House Charities, Boy Scouts of America, YWCA, Paralyzed Veterans Association, Special Olympics and more. For years, these charities have relied on Action Donation Services® sophistication and expertise to maximize their property donation income. That same expertise is now available to the private donor of valuable yachts and ships.

 

Action Donation Services Tax Advantage Program^SM

 

Recently passed federal legislation limits donors of yachts and ships to meager deductions based upon a charities sale price of the donation, usually the price paid at wholesale auction. Prior to the Action Donation Services Tax Advantage Program^SM, owners anxious to stop crushing monthly financial obligations (slip fees, crew expenses, maintenance, insurance, etc.) were forced to accept this meager deduction or face the agonizing prospect of continuing to pay monthly obligations. This problem is further aggravated when attempting to locate qualified buyers in the midst of a slow market.

 

However, the same federal legislation provides that qualified owners of such a vessel can deduct up to full appraised value if a vessel is donated to an appropriate 501 (c) (3) charity whose charitable purpose are consistent with boat donations:

 

In order for the donor to deduct up to the full appraised value of the donation, the charity you donate to must utilize the vessel for its philanthropic purposes for three years.

 

Action Donation Services Guarantee^SM

 

Action Donation Services® will provide to donors with qualifying donations a guarantee in writing that your donation will meet IRS guidelines – so that you can claim the maximum legal tax deduction based on appraised value "worry-free".

 

From a 100 ton crane to teams of skilled mechanics, Action Donation Services® is uniquely qualified to fully rehabilitate any vessel. Moreover, Action Donation Services® can pair the donor with an appropriate and reputable charity needing the vessel for its philanthropic programs.

 

For years, our nations most sophisticated, reputable and best recognized charity chapters have benefited from Action Donation Services® expertise. By means of the Action Donation Services Guarantee^SM, donors are now provided the same iron clad assurance of obtaining the maximum legal tax deduction possible when they donate a high value boat or yacht to a trusted charity using Action Donation Services®.

These goals are perfectly harmonized in the professional and competent way Action Donation Services® works with donors of high end yacht and ship donations and trusted client charities.

The Action Donation Services Guarantee^SM provides you with the “peace of mind” that results from knowing that ownership of your donated property will not be transferred from the approved charity for a full three years after donation – entitling the donor to use the full appraised value of the donation according to IRS guidelines. We have a variety of methods that we can use depending on the donation that will maximize the value of the donation for the charity – and which will maximize the legal tax deduction available to the donor.

Practical Tax Implications:

 

Since its founding, the United States of America has recognized the powerful benefit that organized charities provide its citizenry. In recognition of that ideal, registered 501 (c) (3) non-profit charitable organizations are allowed to receive donations in a manner providing tax incentive to donors. Applicable tax laws allow for donors to write off charitable deductions of up to 50% of a donor’s annual income (not including possible state tax deductions – check with your tax professional for possible state tax deductions). If you cannot use all of your potential tax deduction in the current year, in most cases you can carry forward your deduction to future years – be sure to check with your tax professional for details.

 

Set forth below are the applicable Federal tax bracket endpoints for 2007 and 2008. To calculate the potential tax savings to you, determine your top marginal tax rate and apply that percentage to the appraised value of the subject yacht or ship.
