Just saw a tiktok saying that art investment tax loopholes are very easy and common.
I don’t understand how it can benefit the rich people doing it though.
Say they buy a painting at 10,000£, then donate it to charity a year later. They are now down 10k and also don’t have a painting. How does declaring that as a charitable donation change anything?

The scam is that they do not give $10000. They buy cheap art from starving artists for say $100. Then they get it evaluated by a very friendly appraiser who declares it is worth $10000. That is their tax writeoff.
It occurs here in Canada too.
