This option involves Coach Duje’s partnership with Clear Sun, where he worked as a financial analyst and helped build financial models for tax equity investments into renewable energy properties, movie tax credits, and R&D tax credit strategies for almost 5 years.
These tax investment strategies resulted in LOWERING OR ELIMINATING tax liability for all of our investors. In addition, these investments resulted in the creation of jobs for the areas where the investment went, including many of the “Opportunity zone” areas in California.
Now there is an additional benefit and that is to help Patriot Aquatics. Clear Sun is looking to donate a percentage of each deal that they make with someone who is associated with Patriot Aquatics. In addition, the investor will be able to make additional charitable donations to Patriot or any other non-profit, instead of making a payment to the IRS, as they will have more cash on hand. The charitable donation will result in an additional deduction on the tax return and further tax savings.
The beauty of some of these tax equity investments is that they have a 5-year carry-back option, meaning you can go back and get a REFUND for all taxes paid in those years.
Since this option is more complex, it requires your CPA and/or your financial planner to sit down with Attorney and President of Clear Sun Power Kent Salveson, so he can take you through the full details of the deal.
THIS OPTION WILL HELP YOU, YOUR FAMILY, PATRIOT AQUATICS AND THE COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS, AS YOU CAN ENGAGE IN THESE TYPES OF INVESTMENTS EVERY YEAR UNTIL THE PROGRAMS LAST. MANY PROGRAMS WERE EXTENDED OR MODIFIED TO ENCOURAGE MORE INVESTMENTS INTO THE ECONOMY IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS.
IF YOU, OR ANYONE THAT YOU KNOW HAS A TAX LIABILITY THAT THEY ARE LOOKING TO LOWER OR ELIMINATE, AND WOULD LIKE TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS OPTION AND PROGRAM PLEASE EMAIL DUJE at: dujepatriotwp@gmail.com
