estate tax and income tax are differentReader comment on: David Koch on Taxes and Ballet Submitted by ben (United States), May 17, 2010 11:14 Why would changes to the estate tax and income tax behave differently with regards to charitable giving. You have a bit of a bait-and-switch here. Koch specifically refers to income and capital gains taxes, but then you mention the non-profit group discussing estate taxes. It would make sense that these taxes affect giving differently. Note: Comments are moderated by the editor and are subject to editing. The Future of Capitalism replies: I don't see why it'd be different. With estate tax you either give away the money while you are alive or the government gets it when you die, with less left over for heirs. With income tax with you either give away the money this year or the government gets it at the end of the year. Submit a comment on this article Other reader comments on this item
