Taxwise Panel Discussion - Smart Strategies for Managing Taxes on the Sale of a Business
It’s sad but true: the IRS and many state governments will expect capital gains taxes to be paid on the sale of a business. However, with a little planning and the right expertise, these taxes can be reduced, deferred, or even eliminated in some instances.
Whether you represent buyers or sellers, you won’t want to miss this lively discussion of the key considerations and useful alternatives. Who wouldn't like to be known for saving their clients thousands of dollars on a tax bill?
