Tax Strategies for Commercial Real Estate Transactions

Commercial real estate remains one of the top portfolio items for investors, with thousands of real estate transactions taking place daily. This webinar will provide tax and investment advisers representing persons in commercial real estate transactions with a comprehensive examination of optimal structures for the ownership vehicle and the mechanics of the purchase or sale transaction.

For income and transfer tax purposes, counsel for buyers and sellers should be prepared to address the tax consequences of various transactions and entity structures, plus the related tax compliance requirements. Tax counsel and advisers must be well-versed in the allocation of taxes to buyers and sellers, tax issues for entity versus asset purchases, tax elections under the IRC, and the use of 1031 exchanges and qualified opportunity funds (QOFs).

In addition, counsel must recognize the tax implications and potential opportunities stemming from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, such as expanding low-income housing tax credits, enhanced opportunity zone incentives, restoration of 100% bonus depreciation, and other key items that must be considered.

Listen as our panel of tax practitioners goes beyond the basics to provide a comprehensive and practical guide to structuring commercial real estate transactions for tax planning, from ownership profile through finalizing the deal.
