Webinar

Steven Meier and John Napoli, co-chairs of Seyfarth's Tax practice, will be presenting the Knowledge Group Webinar "The Opportunity Zone Investment Tax Regime: Recent Legislative and Regulatory Developments You Should Know" on July 9, 2019.

Since its enactment in December 2017, the Opportunity Zone (OZ) tax benefit has emerged as a significant tool in encouraging businesses to invest in economically distressed areas in the U.S. While investors are taking advantage of the tax incentives, the regulatory paradigm is also evolving. In October 2018, proposed regulations were issued to provide guidance on how industry participants can move forward in this new landscape. As of this writing, the proposed rules on the eligibility of a business to take advantage of OZ benefits are already in the final stages of review.

Presenters will discuss the regulatory and legislative developments in the OZ Investment Tax Regime and present key strategies and tips on how to avoid potential risks and legal pitfalls.

Key topics include:

Opportunity Zone (OZ) Investment – Overview and Statistics
Current Rules and Regulations
Recent Developments
Top Issues
Legislative and Regulatory Outlook
Best Practices
