Tax Breaks for Investing Capital Gains in Contaminated Cleanup Sites.
This law establishes new tax incentives for investors who reinvest capital gains into highly contaminated areas, specifically Brownfield and Superfund sites. The goal is to spur economic development and environmental cleanup in distressed communities. Investors can postpone paying tax on their initial capital gains and potentially receive a full tax exemption on profits generated by the investment itself after 10 years.
Key points
Tax Deferral: Capital gains tax can be postponed if the gains are reinvested into certified funds focused on developing and cleaning up designated contaminated zones.
10-Year Exemption: Profits generated from the investment in these zones become entirely tax-free if the investment is held for a minimum of 10 years.
Focus on Cleanup: The legislation targets Brownfield and Superfund sites, aiming to transform polluted land into economically viable properties.
