Qualified Opportunity Zones
Spurring Economic Develpment and Job Creation
“We want all Americans to experience the dynamic opportunities being generated by President Trump’s economic policies. We anticipate that $100 billion in private capital will be dedicated towards creating jobs and economic development in Opportunity Zones. This incentive will foster economic revitalization and promote sustainable economic growth, which was a major goal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act”. US Dept. of Treasury, Steven T. Mnuchin Secretary of the Treasury, October 19, 2018.Sweeping Legislation
The “Investing in Opportunity Act” included in the Tax
Cuts and Jobs Act, passed in December 2017, introduced
an innovative way to stimulate private investment in low income communities. The program rewards investors with
significant tax savings for their commitment of long-term
investment capital.
Each state governor was provided the opportunity to
select up to 25 percent of the Qualified Opportunity Zones
(“QOZ”) in their jurisdictions to develop economically
depressed areas. To qualify, the area needed to meet
certain low-income requirements including a higher than
20 percent poverty rate or a prevailing median family
income less than 80 percent of the metropolitan median
family income, based upon the most recent census tract
data (2010).
In total, over 8,700 QOZs, home to more than 35 million
Americans, were designated in 50 states, Washington
D.C., and U.S. territories. In the aggregate, the designated
QOZs, as certified by the Treasury Department, manifest
an average poverty rate of 31 percent and a median
family income of 59 percent relative to its applicable area.
Approximately 75 percent of QOZs are located within
metropolitan areas.
Tax Advantages
Potential tax benefits of QOF investment.
QOF investors access a powerful suite of tax incentives including capital gains tax deferral, a step up in basis and tax free growth. If an investor sells any asset that generates a capital gain and has invested an equal or lesser amount in a QOF within 180 days, they could enjoy the following benefits:Tax free growth
Once invested in a Qualified Opportunity Fund, any capital gains tax on realized appreciation in the QOF will be tax free provided that the investor's holding period reaches ten years. The Qualified Opportunity Zone legislation was designed to incentive private sector investment in distressed communities.
Tax reduction
The taxable gain is reduced by ten percent, with an additional five percent reduction if the investment is held for a seven year period. In order to qualify for the additional five percent gain reduction, the QOF investment must have been made in the 2019 tax year.
Tax deferral
The initial capital gain tax from the sale of any asset, where the equal or lesser amount is invested in a QOF within 180 days, can be deferred. Investors are not required to invest the basis from the original investment in order to receive the deferral benefit.
