Are you considering selling your business? Don’t let the kick-yourself moment turn to regret.
The current political climate and pressure to balance the federal budget are driving tax increases that will have a dramatic impact on middle-market business owners. Capital gains taxes are expected to increase at the end of 2012 from 15% to 20%, and owners will be keeping less of a company’s sale price beginning as early as 2013. The cost basis for privately held businesses is typically very low, and the resulting tax burden means that a business owner selling their company for $50 million will pay an additional $2.5 million in taxes alone.
