Tax Implications of Selling A Business...

Tax Aspects of Selling Your Business: An Overview

When you sell your business you may face a significant tax bill. In fact, if you're not careful, you can wind up with less than half of the purchase price in your pocket, after all taxes are paid! However, with skillful planning it's possible to minimize or defer at least some of these taxes.


You will be taxed on the profit you make from selling the business. You may be able to control the timing through the terms of the deal, but the IRS will take its share at some point. 
The amount of tax that you will ultimately have to pay depends upon whether the money you make from the sale is taxed as ordinary income or capital gains. Profit received from the sale of the business assets will most likely be taxed at capital gains rates, whereas amount you receive under a consulting agreement will be ordinary income.

Allocation of Sales Price Governs Tax Consequences

If you negotiate a total price for the business, you and the buyer must agree as to what portion of the purchase price applies to each individual asset, and to intangible assets such as goodwill. The allocation will determine the amount of capital or ordinary income tax you must pay on the sale. It will also have tax consequences for the buyer. 
What is good for the tax picture for the seller is often bad for the buyer and vice versa, so the allocation of price to various components of the deal is frequently an area for negotiation and compromises.

Are you ready for the inevitable demographic cliff that will occur as the #BabyBoomer generation heads for the exits?

Do you understand the boom/bust cycles that defy every government effort to control them and which threaten your wealth?

Is it time for you to sell your business while you can and get the most money possible for it or should you take your chances and wait a few years?

Economic trend forecaster and author Harry Dent joined me on my very first podcast to answer these and other important questions. 

You'll enjoy Harry's lively, sometimes controversial takes on investing and preserving wealth in an insane economic climate and how he uses demographics to accurately chart a course out of this mess.

Check out my latest radio interview with Exit Coach Radio

re: Exit Coach Radio interview..

Recently, I had an opportunity to sit down with "The Exit Coach," Bill Black, to discuss some of the daunting problems faced by baby boomer business owners who want or need to sell their businesses and retire.

It doesn't require an MBA to look at the data and determine that, at least for the next 20-25 years, the wave of boomers trying to sell is going to create an unparalleled buyer's market.

Bill and I looked at some of the challenges boomers will face in attracting the kinds of buyers they need for a successful sale and I offered some viable solutions.

Check out the interview and let me know what you think.
