1 Guidance on Opportunity Zone Structuring & Capital Gain Deferral DECEMBER 12, 2018
2 New IRC 1400Z-1 & 2 The new IRC 1400Z-1 & -2 establish an entirely novel & completely different regimen for deferring & exonerating capital gains New vocabulary & acronyms require definition & explanation Unique concepts describe actions, limitations, results & options With working knowledge of terms, we can describe how they work to defer any capital gain & free from taxation ultimate values that may be achieved with Opportunity Zone investments
3 Qualified Opportunity Zones Qualified opportunity (QO) Zones: Low-income census tracts identified by states Fund: Corporation or partnership that invests in qualified opportunity zone (QOZ) property Not limited to real estate Businesses with substantially all of tangible property owned or leased in a QOZ Cannot be golf course, country club, gaming, etc.
4 Qualified Opportunity Zones, continued Qualified Opportunity Zones are specially designated areas that are eligible for specific federal tax benefits for investors The first set of QOZs were designated on April 9, They were nominated by the state governors, generally from low income census tracts A QOZ retains its designation for 10 years. There are almost 9,000 of them now identified There are numerous QOZs in & around Tulsa & Oklahoma City many of which are prime areas for current redevelopment or new projects
5 Oklahoma Opportunity Zones
6 Qualified Opportunity Zones, continued There is a map on which all QOZs can be seen: See IRS Notice , Internal Revenue Bulletin 9, July 9, 2018, for the official list of all population census tracts designated as QOZs for purposes of Internal Revenue Code 1400Z-1 & -2 Differentiating QOZs from similar sounding prior programs (New Markets, Enterprise Zones, etc.): there is no limit on the number of quality opportunity funds (QOF) or individual investments that may be made in QOZs There are no dollar limits on the amounts that can be invested; there are no government funds awarded for investment or other purposes
7 Qualified Opportunity Zones, continued Temporary deferral of gain 180-day reinvestment of gain directly in fund Deferral ends on earlier of date of next sale, or 2026 Percentage of deferred gain recognized depends on holding period < 5 years: 100% > 5 but < 7 years: 90% > 7 years: 85% Permanent exclusion of gain on sale of QOF Appreciation in the investment 10-year hold requirement
8 Qualified Opportunity Zones, continued
9 Gain Deferral What gains can be deferred? Proposed regulations provide that only capital gain is eligible for deferral Must stem from an actual, or deemed, sale or exchange with unrelated party Related person threshold is 20%, instead of 50% Must be realized & included in computation of capital gain by taxpayer Need further guidance on 1231 gains (net loss is ordinary while overall gain is capital) Section 1256 gains
10 Gain Deferral, continued Who can defer a gain? Eligible taxpayers Person that may recognize gains for federal income tax purposes (includes C corps, REITs, RICs) Pass-through entities, such as partnerships, S corps, decedent's estates & trusts Owners or beneficiaries are eligible if gain not deferred at pass-through level Taxpayers cannot invest in QOZ property directly; must invest through QOFs
11 Reinvestment Period 180-day Reinvestment Period Gain (or portion of gain) must be reinvested in QOF within 180 days of sale/deemed sale Proposed regulations clarify 180-day period begins on date gain is recognized for federal income tax purposes 180-day reinvestment period begins at end of pass-through entity s taxable year Optional: owner may elect to use the day gain was recognized by entity to start the 180-day period (clarification needed for application to S corps & other flowthrough entities) 180-day window for 1256 capital gains begins on last day of taxable year
12 Reinvestment Period, continued Example: Partnership Investments On January 1, 2019, Partnership P realizes $100K capital gain & decides not to elect to defer Two of five partners want to defer their allocable portions of that gain Partner 1 invests $20K in QOF on February 2020 Investment falls within 180-day window under general rule (window begins on last day of partnership s year-end) Partner 2 invests $20K in QOF on February 2019 Investment falls within 180-day window under elective rule (partner elects to use date of sale to start 180-day period)
13 Reinvestment Period, continued REITs & RICs 180-day period starts when capital gain dividends are paid For undistributed capital gains, 180-day period begins at end of taxable year
14 10-Year Basis Adjustment Rules Treatment of Deferral over the Years When deferral expires, if held for five years, taxpayers receive basis step-up equal to 10% of deferred gain If held for seven years, taxpayers receive additional 5% basis adjustment (reduction of gain) Reporting of deferred gain retains character of original gain Taxpayers may also elect to permanently exclude gain related to QOF appreciation after a 10-year holding period
15 10-Year Basis Adjustment Rules, continued Expiration of zone designations is December 31, year holding period Expiration of zone designations will not impact time frame for making basis adjustment election Additional 10-year window Proposed regulations provide taxpayer has until December 31, 2047, to make election
16 Fund Entity Requirements Rules for a QOF Entity treated as a corporation or partnership for federal income tax purposes eligible to self-certify as using Form 8996 Preferred interest or special allocations Cannot be debt instrument Can be used as collateral for loan Partners share of liabilities ( 752(a)) is not treated as additional investment (mixed fund) & does not increase qualified investment Pre-existing entities may qualify by satisfying requirements under 1400Z-2(d) Note: existing tangible property will not qualify for the 90% test
17 Fund Entity Requirements, continued Self-certify as a QOF Form 8996 attached to federal income tax return for applicable year(s) Any earlier election needed or advised? May be prudent to also file when QOF established as a safeguard until regulations are finalized. Entity may choose to identify taxable year & first month of that year to be treated as QOF Failure to specify: treated as qualified on first month of entity's tax year Initial testing dates
18 Fund Entity Requirements, continued Example: Initial Testing Dates Corporation formed in February, but elects April first month as QOF Investments before April do not qualify for deferral Testing periods are end of September & end of December (first 6- month period of taxable year of the period in which it was a QOF & end of year
19 QOF Single Asset Structures (Directly or Through 2 nd Tier Entity) Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 Investor Capital Gain Investor Capital Gain Investor Capital Gain from Unrelated Party from Unrelated Party from Unrelated Party QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC Single Member Limited Liability companies could be created in between levels Corporation Partnership (or LLC taxed as partnership) 90% of total assets QOZ business property Development Level (each may have multiple partners or shareholders) Purchase Purchase 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property If 70% test met, 100% of QOZ Business Property Qualifies for the QOF 90% qualified asset test. This allows a QOF to have only 63% of QOZ Business Property overall & still satisfy testing requirements.
20 QOF Multiple Asset Structuring Investor Capital Gain from Unrelated Party QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC Single member LLCs can be introduced between these levels to further isolate liability between various developments Corporation Partnership (or LLC taxed as partnership) 90% of total assets QOZ business property No limit on additional structures Development Level (each may have multiple partners or shareholders) Purchase Purchase 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property If 70% test met, 100% of QOZ Business Property Qualifies for the QOF 90% qualified asset test. This allows a QOF to have only 63% of QOZ Business Property overall & still satisfy testing requirements.
21 QOF Structuring for Operating Businesses Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Alternative 3 Investor Capital Gain Investor Capital Gain Investor Capital Gain from Unrelated Party from Unrelated Party from Unrelated Party QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC QOF (Corporation, partnership or LLC Alternative 1:An existing business sets up a QOF & expands its business so that a new segment operates within a qualified opportunity zone & is in the active conduct of a trade or business. The property used within the zone is purchased new & more than 70% of the tangible assets of the business are used within the qualified opportunity zone. This should qualify. Proposed Regs. request comment on used property moved into a zone. Map planned CapX potentially to Opportunity Zones to limit capital gain recognition by a business group. Corporation (operating Business) Partnership (or LLC taxed as partnership) 90% of total assets QOZ business property Alternative 2: A new business operates in the qualified opportunity zone in partnership form; the business contracts manufacturing in China using intangibles developed within the opportunity zone. This likely qualifies for Opportunity Zone tax benefits provided the intangible assets are used in the active conduct of a trade or business. Purchase Purchase Alternative 3: Technically a QOF itself could be an operating business but with cash being a nonqualified asset, typically not advised. 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property 70% of tangible assets QOZ business property
22 Comparison of Investment in Single Asset vs Like-Kind Exchange Recognition of Deferred Gain Opportunity Zone Earlier of sale of QOF interest or 12/31/ Exchange Use of New Property Does not need to be like-kind Must be like-kind Upon sale or replacement of property unless deferred to new like-kind exchange (potentially indefinitely) Nature of New Property Real or personal property Must be real property Reinvestment identified No limit 45 days Proceeds to reinvest Only gain on sale Entire proceeds Closing on reinvestment 180 days 180 days Tax Basis Step-Up 10% if QOF held for 5 years, 15% if 7 years (in each case before 2026) None Failed 1031 Exchange QOF possible fix No fix 22
23 Under Current Regulations Clearest case Real estate development in a single asset QOF (especially those that do not benefit from the indefinite deferral available through 1031 like-kind exchanges) Challenging cases Without further clarity from tax regulations Commingled Funds exits & reinvestment of proceeds Operating Businesses Difficult to establish original use or significant tangible property to improve Difficult to deploy money per required time frames May be difficult to leave IP in OZ
24 Asset Tests 90% asset test Initial test (6 months) & annually at year-end Must be used when QOF invests in tangible assets The QOF may use asset values that are reported for applicable financial statement (AFS) purposes AFS includes those filed with federal agency other than IRS, e.g., SEC or audited financial statements If financial statements are not prepared, QOF required to use unadjusted cost basis of its assets
25 Asset Tests, continued Opportunity zone businesses Substantially all of the businesses assets must be OZ business property Substantially all defined for this purpose under the proposed regulations as 70% 50% of OZ business total gross income must be from active conduct of trade or business Applicable financial statement rule also applies here as well 5% zone taxpayer rules
26 Substantial Improvement Requirement & Land Substantial improvement requirement with respect to purchased building located in OZ Additions to basis of property acquired by the QOF must exceed an amount equal to the adjusted basis of property at beginning of 30- month period When measuring substantial improvement for an acquired building, cost of land ignored
27 Substantial Improvement Requirement & Land, continued Example: Substantial Improvement Requirement Z Partnership acquires building & land for $1M. Cost allocated to land is $200K & building is $800K Required minimum improvements to meet substantial improvement requirement is $800K
28 Working Capital Safe Harbor Invest contributed funds in sufficient time 90% test must be met six months from beginning of creation of QOF Safe harbor provided by proposed regulations states property can be held by QOF as working capital for period up to 31 months Must be a written plan identifying financial property to be considered working capital Must be written schedule of how & when property will be used QOF must comply with written plans & schedule
29 Working Capital Safe Harbor, continued Example: working capital safe harbor Taxpayer realized $10M gain & reinvested in QOF within 180-day period QOF immediately purchased OZ land with intent to construct building QOF had written plans to acquire land & construct building $1M of the $10M reinvested was dedicated to purchase of land Plans provided for construction within 30 months QOF had no other gross income during 31-month period
30 What Questions Remain Additional guidance What happens if a QOF fails 90% test What could cause decertification Clarification of 1231 gain issues Rules regarding reinvestment of OZ property by OZ Fund
31 Opportunity Zones & QOFs Pair with other tax benefits? How do QOZ/QOF tax benefits compare with other U.S. tax incentives? Rev Proc , Investments in a qualified opportunity fund may also be eligible for other tax benefits Other tax incentives that may be utilized with Opportunity Zone benefits Historic tax credits Low-income housing credit NMTC ITC IRC 1031 Like-kind exchanges 31
