Hi Zeev, in your opinion - do you think that a venture capital firm could conceivably make an equity investment in TSIG - sell TSIG within a few years (say 2 or 3 years) and then defer any capital gains by rolling over profits by investing in another start-up firm ? From what I have read, the answer is yes - but I am certainly no tax expert. It appears that venture capital firms and individual investors have an excellent tax incentive to invest in emerging small businesses. Zeev, I welcome your opinion and realize you are not a tax expert either. Thanks. Regards, Phil =========================================================== techlawjournal.com Capital gains taxes are paid on profits made on investments in stocks, bonds, real estate and collectibles. Section 1045 currently provides that individual taxpayers may rollover tax-free any gain realized on a sale of "qualified small business stock" when the sale proceeds are reinvested in another qualified small business stock. The rationale for this provision is to encourage individuals to invest in emerging growth companies, and also to encourage them to reinvest any profits once the original investments mature. However, the "rollover" benefits of õ1045 is currently limited to individuals. What the new tax bill does is extend the benefits õ1045 to noncorporate investors, including venture capital partnerships. It will encourage people to invest in venture capital funds, which are a traditional source of seed money for high-tech computer and Internet industry companies. ===========================================================
