  • Tax Strategies for Selling Your Company by David Boatwright and Agnes Gesiko Latham & Watkins LLP
    Tax Strategies For Selling Your Company By David Boatwright and Agnes Gesiko Latham & Watkins LLP The tax consequences of an asset sale by an entity can be very different than the consequences of a sale of the outstanding equity interests in the entity, and the use of buyer equity interests as acquisition currency may produce very different tax consequences than the use of cash or other property. This article explores certain of those differences and sets forth related strategies for maximizing the seller’s after-tax cash flow from a sale transaction. Taxes on the Sale of a Business The tax law presumes that gain or loss results upon the sale or exchange of property. This gain or loss must be reported on a tax return, unless a specific exception set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) or the Treasury Department’s income tax regulations provide otherwise. When a transaction is taxable under applicable principles of income tax law, the seller’s taxable gain is determined by the following formula: the “amount realized” over the “adjusted tax basis” of the assets sold equals “taxable gain.” If the adjusted tax basis exceeds the amount realized, the seller has a “tax loss.” The amount realized is the amount paid by the buyer, including any debt assumed by the buyer. The adjusted tax basis of each asset sold is generally the amount originally paid for the asset, plus amounts expended to improve the asset (which were not deducted when paid), less depreciation or amortization deductions (if any) previously allowable with respect to the asset.

  • Proposed Expansion of New York State Real Estate Transfer Tax March 27, 2017
    CLIENT MEMORANDUM Proposed Expansion of New York State Real Estate Transfer Tax March 27, 2017 On January 23, Governor Cuomo introduced proposed legislation to the New York State Legislature implementing his 2017-2018 budget proposal. One proposal (contained in the Revenue Article VII Bill) would expand the New York State Real Estate Transfer Tax (“NY State RETT”) to apply to transfers of minority interests in certain entities holding New York State real property if the value of the real property is at least 50% of the value of all of the entity’s assets. If enacted, this would amount to a significant expansion of the tax. There is a separate New York City real estate transfer tax which is not implicated by the Governor’s proposal. See Part JJ (p. 206) of the proposed legislation and Part JJ (p. 39) of the official Memorandum of Support. On March 15, the New York State Assembly and New York State Senate each passed one-house budget resolutions and corresponding legislation. The Assembly’s version of the budget adopted the NY State RETT minority transfer legislative language proposed by Governor Cuomo without change. The Senate’s version removed the proposed changes to the NY State RETT entirely. The passage of the one-house budget resolutions marks the official start to the final negotiations over the state budget in advance of the new fiscal year, which begins April 1. Current Law. NY State RETT is generally imposed at a rate of 0.4 percent on transfers of interests in real property, including transfers of a “controlling interest” in an entity with an interest in New York real property (regardless of the relative value of the entity’s real estate assets).

The Constitution of India provides that no tax shall be levied or collected by anyone except by the authority of law. Under the constitution, only the Parliament and State legislative assemblies have exclusive powers to make laws for levy of taxes. Prior to July,2017 multiple indirect taxes were levied by centre as well as states, by multiple agencies, due to which, not only avoidable leakages in tax collection taken place but also free flow of goods and services was affected. Doing business in such an environment became difficult and cumbersome affecting the national growth of the country negatively. In such a scenario Indian parliament has shown extraordinary foresight in conceiving a single indirect tax applicable throughout the country, which will make doing business easy, will help in increase business volumes leading to increased national growth, and will also help the government increase its welfare budget with higher collection of taxes ultimately resulting in overall prosperity of its citizens. With this aforementioned importance, On July 1, 2017, India unleashed its most revolutionary taxation reform in form of goods and services tax (GST) that promise to infuse a fresh energy into the economy by unifying the entire country into one Single Market. More than, twenty six years after liberalizing its economy to the outside world, India has now rolled out another significant financial reform that aims to carry forward and cement on the growth benefits of liberalization.
