  • PROTECTING SELLER INTERESTS in a LEVERAGED BUYOUT by James A
    GUEST ANALYSIS: PROTECTING SELLER INTERESTS IN A LEVERAGED BUYOUT By James A. Deeken and Jean Lu, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP October 7, 2010 While the state of the economy has made it more difficult for buyers to obtain the optimal amount of financing desired to consummate leveraged buyouts, buyers have attempted to bridge the financing gap by having sellers provide seller financing either in the form of seller notes or deferred earn-out payments. Even once the principal terms have been agreed on for seller financing or earn-out payments, the real job of protecting a seller’s interest is only commencing at that point. Without effective follow through based on the advice of competent counsel, the seller could lose the benefit of economic bargain over the non-cash consideration if the components are not structured properly in the face of senior debt that the buyer may have and effective legal protections for the seller are absent. Seller Financing A common means used to bridge the financing gap is to essentially ask the seller of a business to provide seller financing by taking a portion of the purchase price consideration in the form of a note issued by the target. While such financing is issued by a company that the seller knows very well, seller financing presents the following threshold issues that should be considered by a seller: • Subordination Agreement Issues: In a leveraged buy-out, the buyer will typically finance part of the cash portion of the acquisition price by taking out a bank loan against assets of the target.

    Passive and Real Estate Activities Passive Passive and Real Estate Activities If you are an owner of a business in which you do not materially participate, the passive activity rules can limit your ability to deduct losses.

  • Seller Financing Passes Legislature
    Frequently Asked Question Seller Financing Passes Legislature What was the problem? The Legislature amended Hawaii’s SAFE Act in 2014 by removing the exemption that allowed ordinary property owners to provide owner financing of their primary residence. The Hawai‘i Association of REALTORS® (HAR) introduced legislation to restore seller financing as one of our priority issues. This was a concern because sellers were not able to provide seller financing, and it was unclear whether real estate licensees would be able to assist the seller without jeopardizing their real estate license, even if they were still exempt as a licensee. What is the bill that passed the Legislature? Senate Bill 756, CD1 establishes a mortgage license exemption for seller-financed mortgage loans under Hawaii’s Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act (SAFE Act), if certain conditions are met. Requires the seller to provide to the buyer the terms of the financing. Requires the seller to provide a disclaimer, to be initialed by the buyer, regarding the financing. What conditions does the seller have to meet to qualify for seller financing? 1. Seller is a person, estate, or trust that transacts three or fewer residential mortgage loans in one calendar year; 2. Seller is not a loan originator; and 3. Seller has not constructed as the construction contractor for the residence on the property in the ordinary course of the seller’s business. Please note: these provisions are consistent with existing federal law. How will this affect our Standard Forms, such as the Purchase Money Mortgage Addendum and Agreement of Sale? 1.

  • Capital Gains) and Schedule E (Rents, Royalties, Partnership
    Study of Schedule D (Capital Gains) and Schedule E (Rents, Royalties, Partnership) Income Reported on Individual Income Tax Returns Tax Years 2002 - 2006 Montana Department of Revenue Office of Tax Policy and Research Spring, 2010 Schedule D and Schedule E Income Study History and Background PART A – CAPITAL GAINS Introduction In fiscal year 2007, individual income taxes contributed nearly half (45%) of Montana’s total general fund revenue. For tax year 2006, Montanans reported over $2 billion of income from capital gains; that’s just over 10% of all income reported on tax forms in that year. One-quarter of all taxpayers reported capital gains income. Notwithstanding the significant role of capital gains in state revenues and taxpayers’ incomes, little is known about the composition of assets from which capital gains income arises, how this composition changes over time, and the relationships between capital gains income and the state’s economy. This study hopes to shed light on these and other matters surrounding capital gains income, and provide a base of information for subsequent research. While capital gains also play a role in the state’s corporation license tax, the focus here is entirely on the individual income tax. What are Capital Assets and Capital Gains? How are They Taxed?1 Generally speaking, capital gains refers to the net income received from the sale of capital assets. For tax purposes, an asset is considered a “capital asset” unless it is specifically identified as not being a capital asset. Supplies and inventories, accounts receivable related to inventory, depreciable business property, real property used in a trade or business, and certain copyrights comprise the bulk of assets not considered to be capital assets.2 Among other things, capital assets include land; a taxpayer’s principal residence; stocks, bonds, and other securities; livestock and timber; and collectibles, including art, antiques, and historical artifacts.

  • Taxation of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing
    Working Paper Series Congressional Budget Office Washington, D.C. Taxation of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing Larry Ozanne Congressional Budget Office [email protected] November 2012 Working Paper 2012-14 To enhance the transparency of the work of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and to encourage external review of that work, CBO’s working paper series includes both papers that provide technical descriptions of official CBO analyses and papers that represent independent research by CBO analysts. Working papers are not subject to CBO’s regular review and editing process. Papers in this series are available at http://go.usa.gov/ULE. The views expressed in this paper are the author’s and should not be interpreted as CBO’s. This paper is preliminary and is circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment. David Splinter and Theodore Figinski helped design and implement the calculator used in the paper and provided many helpful suggestions, for which the author offers thanks. The author also thanks Janet Holtzblatt, Frank Sammartino, and Steven Weinberg for helpful comments and suggestions. Abstract This paper illustrates how the different tax treatments of owner-occupied and rented houses affect the relative costs of owning and renting. In the examples, a representative landlord computes the rental rate (the ratio of the rent to the value of the house) required to break even on an investment in a house. Potential homeowners compare that market rental rate as a tenant with an implicit rental rate that reflects the cost of owning a home. The tax advantages tend to make owning more advantageous than renting for higher-income households, but lower-income households can find renting cheaper than owning.
