Donating inventory can improve profitability
Article Abstract:
A firm can donate unwanted products to a charitable cause, in exchange for tax breaks on corporate income. It may be more advantageous for the firm to donate inventory than it would be to take a large loss. A maximum of 50 percent can be taken on the appreciation of some kinds of standard income property, under the Tax Reform Act of 1976.
