Retain Like-Kind Exchanges in Tax Reform - Op-Ed

Like-Kind Exchanges Enable Small Business, Stimulate Economy - Op-Ed

Excerpted from the Denver Business Journal, "Beware changes in 'like-kind' transactions under proposed federal tax reform":

Rarely do the interests of small businesses owners and a broad range of local entrepreneurs agree with almost a century of federal income tax policy – especially when it results in billions of dollars in taxes being paid.

But luckily for the economy, they do.

The trouble is, this powerful economic driver is now in real danger as Congress and the Trump Administration grapple with the twin dilemmas of tax reform and a threadbare federal budget that would put such long-term investments and incentives at risk.

Advocates Aim to Preserve Like-Kind Exchange in Tax Reform

on Thu, 05/11/2017 - 11:32 Accruit

In a May 8, 2017 Tax Notes article, “Advocates Aim to Preserve Like-Kind Exchange in Tax Reform,” Emily Foster explores the issue of repealing 1031 like-kind exchanges as part of the current tax reform efforts in Washington. In the absence of specific guidance regarding like-kind exchanges in either the House GOP tax reform blueprint or President Trump's one-page tax reform plan, analysts are looking closely at former House Ways and Means Committee Chair Dave Camp's 2014 tax reform draft, in which Camp had proposed repeal of Section 1031 in its entirety.

Incorporating views from both opponents and advocates of like-kind exchange repeal, Foster's article discusses the history of 1031 exchanges, how and by whom like-kind exchanges are currently used and the potential consequences of repeal.
