Overview

Body
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 established so-called opportunity zones to jump-start economic growth in low-income areas around the country. The government allows any participating investor to defer paying tax on capital gains from the sale of property in these areas if those gains are invested in a qualified opportunity fund. That fund, in turn, must invest 90 percent of its assets in businesses or property used in one of these designated low-income communities.
 
Hear from Craig Mason of RSM discuss what this means for the Greater Birmingham and Southeast.
