Episode 8: The Tax Man Cometh
36:42Joining us today is Erik Seeney, Executive Director and Wealth Planning Strategist. Based out of Atlanta, Georgia, Erik is one of our go-to specialists at the firm with a focus on advanced planning strategies, design and implementation. Appropriate tax planning is an essential component of a pre-sale strategy. Liquidity events typically incur income taxes (some or all of the proceeds may be subject to ordinary income or capital gains tax and the 3.8% surtax on net investment income). Comprehensive analysis, including financial and estate planning, before the exit can help an owner understand income tax treatment and potentially minimize your tax liability. Bottom line – Your situation is very specific to you and your family... so it’s important to walk through these ideas with your own tax and legal counsel.
