Opportunity Zones
Enacted on December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, made several significant changes to the tax code. One of these changes included a new tax incentive program, Internal Revenue Code Subchapter Z – Opportunity Zones, aiming to promote investments in designated low-income census tracts. Participating investors may benefit from deferred and reduced capital gains, including zero tax on the appreciation of the investment at disposition.
How It Works
All or a portion of realized capital gains is invested in these economically underperforming areas or “opportunity zones” either directly or through a Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund (QOF).
The investment offers three potential tax benefits:

A deferral of the tax on realized capital |
A 10% reduction of the tax if the investment is held for 5 years by December 31, 2026, or date of disposition, and an additional 5% reduction if held for seven years (15% total). |
No taxable gain on the sale or exchange if investment is held for 10 or more years. |
Investment Example
Under the traditional system, the investor would owe approximately $24 in federal tax (assuming 20% capital gains rate and 3.8% net investment income tax) compared to $20 if invested in a Qualified Opportunity Zone. *Rates are estimates and are subject to change. Please consult your tax advisor.
[1] Investors receiving gains on a K1 may be able to elect December 31 as the date of the gain, regardless of the date of the actual sale.
