Tax Efficiency
A Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) is an economically distressed community where new investments, under certain conditions, may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as QOZs if they have been nominated for that designation by a state, the District of Columbia, or a U.S. territory and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury via his delegation of authority to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
A QOZ Investment for 10 years or more may provide complete Capital Gains Tax forgiveness, making the program one of the single most tax efficient vehicles ever available.
