This breakfast seminar takes place at 8:00 a.m. at The Merion Cricket Club in Haverford, PA. CLE and CPE credit is available.
This QOZ and QOZ/1031 Exchange strategy update is a follow-up to the popular Qualified Opportunity Zones/Funds (QOZs) and Section 1031 Like-Kind Exchange seminar held a few months ago.
These two tax-advantaged vehicles can serve to defer, reduce, and in some cases, eliminate tax on gains earned on investment and business use assets.
The discussion will cover:
- General update for regulations governing investment in QOZs, including the most recent proposed regulations released in April 2019
- Strategic issues to consider before undertaking like-kind exchanges and QOZs
- An update on how to maximize the benefits of each
