Tax estate financing offers tax benefits to investors who contribute assets to a project or business. Methods include asset contribution, allocation, flipping, and reallocation, with renewable energy being a prevalent industry. Tax benefits reduce an investor’s income and liabilities, encouraging business expansion.
Tax estate financing is a way to contribute financial resources to a project or business while receiving certain tax benefits. Some of the methods include asset contribution, allocation, flipping, and reallocation. The practice of tax capital financing is more prevalent in some industries, such as renewable energy. The tax benefits of equity financing reduce the amount of an investor’s actual income and liabilities, while encouraging business expansion.
When an investor decides to financially back a company or one of its capital projects, they can contribute certain assets at fair market value. This value can be higher than the cost of the assets, often resulting in an investor being able to delay a capital gains tax. Any time a person sells an asset for more than its cost, the gain is considered taxable income. If an investor decides to sell his assets to a company at fair market value, he does not delay his potential tax liability.
Another way to defer tax liability is the idea of corrective allowance. For example, a company can issue new shares to existing shareholders who can only receive dividend payments if the company produces a certain amount of profit or after a specific time has passed. Even though investors still have a claim of ownership in the company, any income received from their financial contributions is being postponed and possibly allowed to grow. In corrective allocation, the gain on the contributed asset is recognized over time instead of in advance.
Flipping is a tax capital financing method that changes the amount of capital an investor has in a project or company over its useful life. When the investment technique is used, an investor tends to receive most of his tax benefits at the beginning of the project and the income from him at the end of his life. For example, an investor may invest more resources at first and then sell his interest in the project until his percentage ownership decreases to a negligible amount. Another investor may contribute a smaller amount before the start of the project and end up with a higher percentage of ownership at the end.
Tax equity financing may also employ the reallocation method. With this technique, a financial contributor can receive an amount of income from their investment that is significantly less than their original contribution. Under the tax capital reallocation financing method, the investor creates a shortfall that reduces or eliminates his tax liability when his interest in the investment is sold.
